Because our System Flows can be running quiet sometime, sometime hours, and I don’t want my deployment killing a running system flow I have developed a way to check whether a system flow is still running.

What I do is: 

• deactivated all running system flows
• check if there is a system flow running (is there an empty  yend_date_time] in process_flow_schedule_log])
• If so wait sometime and check again
• If not start deployment.

And of course I put on a max time the deployment will wait, if it takes more time, the deployment is aborted.

But now I’m seeing quite often that the tend_date_time] is not filled. It looks like that if a system flow encounters an error, it aborts and doesn’t write the  tend_date_time] in it’s process_flow_schedule_log].

Therefor my checks are failing and deployments are aborted much to often.

I would think that the kend_date_time] should always be filled.

Is there a solution for my problem or is this a flaw?
