deadline and naming the outcome you must activate the outcome (Outcomes tab). I
assume you have done that since you say you can observe the deadline being
reached. To get the "Processing obsolete" outcome you must
activate it and add a process control step to the modelled deadline handling
branch (e.g. "Latest end reached!"). The process control step is used
to obsolete the step that has reached its deadline (or another step if you
choose to). Just add the step and you'll see how it is done.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
