<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Hi Everyone,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Problem: I have multiple instances of the
same workflow that are triggered at the same time. Of course, the first thing
that happens is that each instance tries to update the Business Partner (the
same one) and this results in a large number of temporary application errors.
This is no big deal but if I have 50 instances of the WF for the same Business
Partner then I am going to get a lot of errored workflows.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Possible (sucky) solution: One obvious
thing I can do to alleviate this problem is to put in a random wait step and
this will hopefully reduce (or remove) the number of errored workflows. I dont
like this solution as I hate putting in random wait steps unless there is a
business need for this. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can anyone can suggest a better
solution?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Look forward to your input.</FONT></DIV>
