AW: End Workflow after n-hours

[Marten, Michael]

Hello Chris,
you wrote
"I want a workflow to terminate itself after n hours because its
 obsolete then".
It would be interesting to hear the business background why at least one dialog step (or more than one in the branch) is obsolete/must be logically deleted - simply because a time period is over ;-)

I have never thought about that and no scenario is coming into my mind.

Regards, Michael
P.S. I assumed that one of the branches contain at least one dialog step.

Use a wait step.
This is simply a background task based on a custom WAIT method with no code. Put a requested start deadline of n hours.
After n hours, workflow will start the task, execute all it's nothingness in a few milliseconds and terminate your fork.

Of course being the simplest possible task, this is also a perfect example to give OO classes a go :-)

Cheers,
Mike
