Deadline Monitoring for Parallel Processes

[Griffiths, Mark]

Have you tried putting your dynamic parallel step on one branch of a fork (1
branch required of 2)? You can then put a single deadline step on the other
branch of the fork to send your notification if the fork doesn't complete
within a time period.  If you are using a simple deadline you may also then
need to put a subsequent step or loop in to stop the fork completing (and
cancelling the other parallel steps) after the notification is sent.
 
Hope this helps,

All
 
I created a parallel process, which is using deadline monitoring. I send a
task to a dynamic amount of people parallel. I enabled deadline monitoring
for
this step. Everything works well. If one person is missing his or her
deadline the notification is send to the right person.The problems is when
for
example 3 people out of 5 miss the deadline the deadline notification is
send out
3 times. I only need 1 notification to be send out.
Did anybody face that problem of using deadline monitoring with parallel
processes before?
 
I am on 4.6C
Thanks
