[LIKELY JUNK]RE: UWL/Workflow Performance Recommendations?

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Mike, 
Yeah ... I hear you, but I think that's also called GET THEE A WORKFLOW
ADMINISTRATOR .... 
and also a little re-education of those careless IDOC folk... 
Regards,
Jocelyn

Hi Jocelyn, 

 

The one I see most is workflows not completing - i.e. the design doesn't
ensure it finishes, users generate lots of workflows that are abandoned
in an 'in processing' state; or it's set up to send IDOC-tasks to
WF-BATCH to sweep them under the carpet (surprisingly common).

 

Not sure about UWL impact, but it definitely slows down SBWP and many of
the WF admin transactions (SWI2_*),  because the WI status is indexed
and many of the SELECT's only look at items that are in READY or
STARTED. So even if your user only has 100 items in the SBWP it will
still be slow due to the extra time taken to ignore several million
useless items that are still considered 'active'. 

 

My usual suggestion: If you're not 100% sure a process is going to
finish, put a long deadline on it after which it's definitely obsolete
and cancel the WF. 

 

Cheers, 

Mike

Hi Folks, 

 

Ok I know of some performance issues to watch out for but to be thorough
I'd really appreciate it if the WUG-gers would please share any specific
UWL or Workflow performance recommendations you have come across. 

 

I'm talking about recommendations for relatively recent systems here -
EP 7.0 portal against ECC 5.0 or higher, or other NW7.0 systems. 

 

If you would be kind enough to send them through I'm happy to collate
them together for the group, and also share them with Ginger Gatling re
future plans for UWL/workflow development.

 

Really appreciate your assistance with this. 

 

Kind regards,

Jocelyn
