Identifing Corrupted Workflows

Hi All,

My requirement is to identify corrupted Workflows. I have a script which will get the list of available workflows and the tasks. But here in my case I need to find corrupted workflows which are like no longer valid one. Basically they are unusable WFs.

My requirement is for deleting these WFs, so that To-Do list page will get loaded without consuming much time. This inturn will enhance TS performance.

Request you to shed light on this.

How do you define corrupted workflow?

How do you define corrupted workflow?

One that is running an external task (for greater than some threshold) say > 24 hours.

Just my definition.

Does the externaltask ever work (i.e. for other jobs)?
If not - the problem is likely the externaltask script
If so - the problem could have been memory or some other issue at the time that the task attempted to execute it.

If you know the task id, you can transition it yourself from the command line using iwcallback (or iwtaskselect - but I'm pretty sure it's iwcallback)

As for identifying them - you can probably write up some code using TeamSite::WFsystem and TeamSite::WFtask - the former will allow you to traverse through all the currently active tasks, the latter will allow you to find the activation time and then you can compare it to the current time to figure out how long it's been running - and then you figure out whether that's outside the threshold for reasonable duration and do whatever it is you want to do.
