Hi Thomas,
I appreciate your input but I was wondering WHY you have this preference? Is it performance related? Or simply past experience?

Hi Alon,
i would prefer an additional ABAP Report to clear the field, which runs as Batch once a day. In my opinion it makes little sense to keep these Workflows for two years in "running" mode.
Greetings,
Thomas Lorenz

Hi Ram,
Thanks for the input. My problem with this approach is that I now have a batch job scheduled for each instance of the workflow (around 400 or so)... I guess it not a big deal but I am not sure I am seeing what the advantages of using this over the deadline monitoring report...

I think there might be another option ( Not sure though ) :
Just after that step in your workflow put another step which will schedule a Batch Job (FM BP_JOB_CREATE) with release date = sy-datum + 2 years.
I am not sure but system restart should not affect it.
The Batch job will then trigger an event ( after two years ) to re-start the terminated workflow.
Thanks,
Ram

Hi Everyone,
I would love to hear peoples opinions on this issue.
We have a situation where a workflow has to do update a field and then wait for 2 years before clearing that field. There are two possibilities to this issue.
1. Put in a 2 year wait step
2. Terminate the workflow and run a nightly batch job which would query some table and determine if 2 years have passed and then reset the field accordingly.
Currently I am leaning towards option 1 as I really don't see a difference in option 1 and option 2. Ultimately they are all just batch jobs which check dates and then do some processing. The volumes here are very low.
Your thoughts?
