Start a workflow only once a day

[Sergey Breslavets]

Gentlemen, you can get all the event information from event log and =
kick-off any follow-up processing by running a report just once (at =
"predetermined time"), instead of doing real-time monitoring... it's =
just more efficient, imho..
Remember, each event creation and background steps consume system =
resources (dialog processes, table space, etc.)....=20

Hi Sergey,
 
create a workflow that you start once (manually). It should have a wait
event as the first step for the events you want to collect. That wait =
event
is in an endless loop. In the follow-on processing when the event is
triggered, you simply add the new event information to a multiline =
container
element or such thing. At a predetermined time, a parallel branch (again =
in
an endless loop so it starts every day) will take the contents of the
container element and either start a subworkflow or a separate one, in =
order
to do the user processing.
 
HTH,
Stephan

Hio Werner,
 
if all you need is an information about all business event created =
during
the day, a report is probably a better choice. if you need notification =
you
can do a background job that would generate and mail report to intended
recipients.
 
otherwise tell a little about your business case and i might be able to
advise something... e.g.:
- what has to happen when one or more business events are created?
- when your agents/system have to react? (when first event created, last
one, next day, whenever they have time...?)
- what'll happen if they did not react?
- etc.
 
regards,
sergey

Hi workflow experts,
 
i want to trigger an event each time a business event is created.
So i can start a workflow with each event. When someone creates 5 =
business
events i get 5 workflows.
 
But it would be better if i can start only one workflow a day, so that =
the
information of all events are collected in one workflow.
I don't know how to solve that.
 
The problem is that a few people have to get a workitem when someone =
creates
a new business event.
Therefore they get a lot of workitems every day.
So it would be better if they only get one workitem with the information =
of
all business events.
 
Does anybody have an idea?
 
Regards,
Werner.
