Performance (killer?)

[Rickayzen, Alan]

Robert,
You'd have to include some amazingly complicated routines in your workflow to turn 500 workflows a day into a performance killer. This is less than 1 workflow a minute at peak times!
 
However it's only a couple of minutes work to define a start condition and using events gives you the flexibility of the event queue so I would recommend that you follow Serge's suggestion. You'll also save a bit of disk space too.
 
Kind regards,

Hi Robert,
 
If you are saying in your workflow definition that you looking for the condition, i would say that you should try to use a Start Condition to do that or create a Check function in the type linkage table! You should try not to do the verification directly into your workflow definition because that
will generate entries in the system tables and when they get big, thats where it start to slow the system... Use transaction SWB_COND for the Start condition...
 
Regards.

Hello,
 
 
 
I'am interested in what the system load would be when I trigger 1 Workflow
about 500 times a day, using a condition as the first step, the workflow
will "really" start about 10 times a day.
 
Would this be a performance killer for the system and should I define a new
Starting event (or use ABAP)? Or isn't it such a big problem because only 1
check has to be made? (check: if field x = 99999 end WF, else continue WF)
 
 
 
Thanks,
 
 
 
Robert
