Setting runtime options

Specify the runtime options for the workflow system.

To set runtime options:

  1. Select the workflow system that you want to modify and click Properties on the toolbar.
  2. Select the Runtime Options tab.
  3. On this tab, select or clear the following items:
    Table 1. Runtime options for the workflow system
    Option Description
    Enable loop detection Select this check box to enable loop detection for the workflow system.

    When loop detection is enabled, a work item that exceeds three times the Maximum operations per transaction or Maximum instructions per transaction is considered to be in a loop and is handled as an error.

    Remove expired timer from parent Select this check box to disable the timer on a parent work item whose children work items have already expired.
    Delete parent when children do not merge Select this check box to enable the deletion of parent work items when the child work items are deleted or terminated.

    If this check box is selected, a parent work item is terminated if all its children are terminated or deleted. If the check box is cleared and all of the children are terminated or deleted, the parent work item leaves the Delay queue and continues processing.

    Enable consistent return Select this check box to determine whether the map type is a factor in the behavior of the Return system function.

    By default, the consistent return option is selected unless you have upgraded from an older version of the software. Clear this option only if you must maintain compatibility for existing workflows that were created in an older version and which depend on the original (that is, inconsistent) use of the Return system function.

    Enable notification Select this check box to enable email notification for the workflow system.

    Clearing this check box terminates the workflow system process (vwnotify) that controls email notification.

    Enable workflow termination event Select this check box to enable workflow termination tracking for the workflow system.

    Clearing this check box terminates the workflow system process (vwdone) that controls termination tracking.

    Enable CBE adapter for WebSphere® Business Monitor Enabling the common base event adapter component links the workflow system with the IBM® WebSphere Business Monitor server. The common base event adapter reads events from the workflow event logs, converts the events to common base event format, and then transmits the converted events to the WebSphere Business Monitor server through the Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) layer.
    Enable Rules If you will use rules in the workflows, select this check box to enable rules functionality on the workflow server. The workflow author uses Process Designer to specify which rules to run at any step in a workflow. See "About Rules" for information about configuring and implementing rules.

    Clearing this check box disables rules functionality. Workflows that contain rule functions can run with rules functionality disabled, but the rules will be skipped.

    The Rules Listener must be present to process the rules when a workflow is running.

    Allow Asynchronous Rules If you will use rules that require a processing time longer than one second, selecting this check box gives the workflow author the option in Process Designer to configure these rules for background processing.

    Clearing this check box hides this option in Process Designer. Workflows with rules functions that require a long processing time might experience a delay at the step where the rule is defined.

  4. Click OK to save your changes.
