Testing Workflow deadlines, wait steps, logically deleted cases etc.

[Tom Peou]

Hi Krishna,

You can change the deadline in the runtime environment by the following
method:
1. Go to the workflow log for the instance required.
2. Click on the task with the deadline monitoring set.
3. Then click on the menu 'Goto' -> 'Technical Work Item Display'.
4. Select 'Edit' -> 'Change' from the menu.
5. You should have the option available to 'Change Deadlines'.
6. Update your deadline forward to a few minutes from now and as long
as SWWDHEX is running, then that work item should hit the deadlines you've
set.

Cheers,
Tom
