<div>Hi All,</div>
<div>I am facing a very atypical issue which I will try and explain below:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>When a workflow is triggered in the system, the first step of the workflow is a background step. Now Ideally, i would have expected this step to change from "READY" state to "INPROCESS" within a fraction of a second. What happens with our workflows is that these steps continue to remain în "READY" state for 2-3 hrs. Please note that there is no deadline monitoring active for these steps.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have 2 questions based on this:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1. How does the workflow system function with regard to changing a step state?</div>
<div>2. More important quaetion : Why is this above mentioned problem occurring in our system? Is it something to do with system performance?</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I may have raised this question before, but could not get a proper solution to the issue.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks in advance.</div>
