<div>G'day Sue,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Couple of choices, well lots probably.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1. Don't delete users when someone leaves the company but delimit the user-id and ensure the user has active substitution set up. Yours is an extreme case with a 6 month lag, but any process can suffer the initiator disappearing while the process is alive. Delimiting rather than deleting is a good general user management process. As fas as licencing is concerned they are the same. It also means that when you're reviewing old documents etc in the system you can find out who PYCM is for
e.g.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2. In this case create a dummy background step which calls an empty method and put the Requested Start on this. That way in six months the process kicks off again, does nothing for a moment and then continues to the decision step you're interested in. This ensures the ruole will run for the current data / org structure.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Have fun,</div>
