Trigger the deadline event of a WI twice?

[Stephan Becker]

you need to model the deadline instead of just sending a reminder, if you haven't done so already. in the deadline tab, select the modelled deadline option, that will give you a new branch in the workflow.
do the reminder using something like selfitem.sendtaskdescription (sends a mail, workflow continues (to wait) after mail is sent).
then a dummy to wait (like an existencecheck method with a requested start deadline), and finally when you want to send the item to the manager, use process control in the deadline branch to render the main workitem obsolete, and in the obsolete branch of the workitem (fill in the event text of the obsolete event in the event tab of the release step to make the new branch visible in the flow), include the release step for the manager..

Hi, everybody-
in a release workflow I use deadline event processing. The deadline is set
to 2 days after WI creation.
When it is reached, a remember-message is sent to the actual agent: " You
have the task ...   in Your inbox for 2 days already. Please give your
attention to it. After 3 days from now it will be forwarded to your manager"
 
Now I want to increase the deadline by 3 days to a total of 5 days after WI
creation. The actual agent is still the same.
I want the deadline event to be triggered a second time. How can I do this
in the Workflow?
Are there any container operations to special variables? Or must I kill the
item and create a new one with the new deadline?
 
Best regards
Ulrich
