Antwort: AW: End Workflow after n-hours

[Christian Wallner]

Hi!

At first, Thanks Florin, Thanks Mike, thats so simple it didn't come into 
my mind ;)
Michael, the business background is: 
When critical errors to an inspection lot (QM) are raised (measured values 
out of range) than this workflow (in standard: WS00200081) is started. 
Than an operator in our production is informed about that and has to 
re-dose chemicals in our production line. After a defined amount of time, 
unprocessed workflows are obsolete because re-dosing could be more 
damaging than helpful (because maybe other workflows of the same 
production line have been processed in the meantime). I know, not the 
cleanest solution, but works for us ;)

regards,
chris

AW: End Workflow after n-hours






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dialog step (or more than one in the branch) is obsolete/must be logically 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
