Deadline - waiting tasks

[Van der Burg, Jeroen JA SITI-ITPSEE]

Hi Shane,
 
1. Deactivation of the deadline monitoring job can happen when it =
collides with a particular other job. There is a note for this which =
prevents it from happening. Implement this ASAP.
 
2. We had to restart the stopped workflows (everything that was waiting =
for a deadline to be reached at the time) manually. Not much fun.
 
 
Regards,
 
 
Jeroen

Hiya,
 
I have a problem with deadlines on my Annual Leave with HTML workflow,
usually I would search the archives for a solution before annoying =
anyone
but the site seems to be down.
 
The Annual Leave with HTML (WS20000081) calls another workflow to lock =
an
employee record - Find employee and lock (WS1200003).
The standard task within this workflow Lock Employee (TS20000150) has a
requested start deadline set up of one minute.
 
Before this deadline is reached it is in a process of waiting, however =
my
problem is that somehow on the 6th of March the scheduled job for =
deadline
monitoring was turned off, I only reactivated it on the 14th of March.
 
But this has resulted in a large number of the above tasks stuck in a
waiting process, is there any way I can execute them so they will =
complete,
I thought turning the scheduled job back on would have completed them =
but
it has not.
I will be looking into why the job was stopped and making sure it =
doesn't
happen again, but I am lost with the "waiting tasks"
Any ideas????
 
Thanks,
