Job WfCheckLimits

The WfCheckLimits job checks the due time limits of running workflow processes and activities. The job delegates the check to the limit management of the workflow engine.

Limit agents

If the extended attribute LimitAgentClassName is set for an expired limit, the specified limit agent class is invoked. The class must implement the interface org.enhydra.shark.api.internal.limitagent.LimitAgent. Webdesk also supports the built-in Approval, Decline and Redirect limit agents provided for this purpose.

Prerequisites

For the limit check to work correctly, the workflow engine settings must be configured appropriately. In the supplied configuration, the default limit agent management is provided and the XPDL cache is not excluded on startup. In a custom installation, check in particular the following settings:

• LimitAgentManagerClassName must not point to an incompatible alternative implementation.
• Cache.OmitXPDLCacheOnStartup must be set appropriately for the required process definitions; the supplied Webdesk configuration uses false.

Job properties

• The job is active in the supplied descriptor.
• The job cannot be configured via its own configuration form.
• The general job parameters such as trigger and mail notification apply as defined in central job management.
