Good to hear I've been of some help :)

If your 'remote' Wf Errors then just like any other Wf in Error, it will
appear in the remote system in SWPR and Wf Admin should be monitoring this.
 If your calling Wf is using 'dynamic parallel processing' then you could
build something into this to deadline each leg (each leg I suggest could be
the remote system id/Object Key), then each leg could have it's own
deadlining .... and I imagine now you could get creative and imagine
allsorts of things to do, but probably best to keep it simple.

Good luck, sounds like an interesting piece of work.
