  • 1.  Question about setting up a monitoring workflow

    Posted Feb 09, 2010 05:22 PM
    I am buiding my first monitoring workflow.  It will be set at an interval to autorun.  My question is how does workflow handle a monitoring workfow if one is still running?   Example:
    I have a workflow that will take 6 minutes to run.  If I set the auto invoke interval to run every 5 minutes, when the time reaches 5 minutes and  one process is still executing, will it execute another in another thread?  Or will it see that one is running and skip that turn, or que it and run it as soon as it gets done.

    Each monitor project will kick off a new instance of the monitoring WF.

    What you can do to avoid this is set some flag in a DB  that is checked at the begining of the WF. If the value is "still running" or something like that, then you can just go to the end component and the process ends.

    You are correct.  I wrote my own test project to verify.
