<p class="MsoNormal">Dear WF-colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am working on an approval procedure where I would like to process the 2<sup>nd</sup> release step automatically in case certain prerequisites are fulfilled.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Unfortunately the checking for the prerequisites is done so quickly, that the task for the 2<sup>nd</sup> release step is created within the same second the 1<sup>st</sup> approval step is done. This leaves the PO still locked when the
2<sup>nd</sup> WI wants to access it, which makes the 2<sup>nd</sup> approval step to end up in error.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To solve this I have defined a 'requested start' for the 2<sup>nd</sup> task to suspend the start for one minute:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Refer.date/time WIS Work Item Creation<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Date %DATUM%<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Time %TIMLO% +1 Minute<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The correct start time is calculated in the run-time environment but unfortunately the workitem is not leaving the 'waiting status'.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there any report, WF system setup or background job which is checking the 'waiting workitems' and activating them at due time?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any help or info is highly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
