Race to the Finish Line

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Why not chuck them to the event queue so that they are started one by
one?
That would give them each workflow a chance to get in before the next
one started.

Hi Alon,

At the workflow step level you can override the global setting in SWU3
for the number of retries for work items with temporary errors. It's
on the Miscellaneous tab (I think it used to be the Other tab) and I
believe the limit is 99.

Not ideal, but maybe better than the wait step..?

Gavin

> Problem: I have multiple instances of the same workflow that are
triggered at the same time. Of course, the first thing that happens is
that each instance tries to update the Business Partner (the same one)
and this results in a large number of temporary application errors. This
is no big deal but if I have 50 instances of the WF for the same
Business Partner then I am going to get a lot of errored workflows.

this problem is to put in a random wait step and this will hopefully
reduce (or remove) the number of errored workflows. I dont like this
solution as I hate putting in random wait steps unless there is a
business need for this.
