Deadline - waiting tasks

[Richard Marut]

Shane,
 
You may be able to restart the work item by displaying the task and
going to the technical work item display, setting it to change and
selecting 'replace' from the work item menu. I've done this with work
items that were hanging which displayed 'executed automatically' but
remained in the users inbox.

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,
