pause for function

+2

hello,

I found pause for function is not instability on our sharepoint.

I submitted a ticket to our group IT department and relpied:

Our timerjobs are Running every Time.

But the most of them (like nintex scheduler or workflow) needs some time to finish, because they have to much work to do.

We dont recommend the "pause for 5 Minutes" or "pause until"

Because we cannot be sure, that the workflows only wait 5 minutes.

Is there someone tell me how to do it?

Thanks

The problem i've seen with the "Pause for 2 minutes", for example, is that the calculation is done from time to time by SharePoint timer.

So, if your SharePoint timer is set to "run every 5 minutes"......your 2 min delay will be calculated only after 1 to 5 minutes.

Your "Pause for 2 min" then becomes "wait for 2 to 7 minutes", depending on when the SharePoint timer will run.

Ex :

- your SharePoint timer runs at 7:10 then 7:15 then 7:20

- your workflow starts at 7:11 and wait for 2 minutes.....it will go on only at 7:15 when re-evaluated !

- if your workflow starts at 7:14......il will go on at 7:20 because at 7:15 the 2 minutes were not complete

- if your workflow starts at 7:12....it will go on at 7:15
