In Domino Workflow, an agent named, “OS Domino Workflow Backgrounder”, enables the already split documents to rejoin.
(Just to give a base to the scenario: Any document splits into two parts for some parallel processing activity, incase required. In this case I split and approval requisition into two documents , whereby one to seek approval and the other for a simple notification)
I had set this agent to trigger as “OnEvent” and selected the event in turn as “After documents are created or modified”.
Despite that I have to wait for close to 10 mins , for any parallely processed jobs to rejoin. Till that time these jobs show a status “Waiting to join”.
Can these split documents join/merge as soon as either document gets modified, without having to wait.
Subject: Lotus WorkFlow: The (OS Domino Workflow Backgrounder) agent
Both “halves” of the document neds to be @ the same activity in “waiting to join” when the background agent runs for them to join. Here’s what the HELP says about your trigger:
On event new or modified documents: This setting doesn’t guarantee that the agent will be triggered immediately after changing a document in the database. The Domino server will delay the execution of the agent until the server has idle time, but not longer than 30 minutes. You can force the server to execute the agent more often by changing the server settings to these suggested values:
AMgr_DocUpdateAgentMinInterval = 2 (value = 0)
AMgr_DocUpdateEventDelay = 2 (value = 0)
You can find the server settings in the Public Address Book under Server - Configuration - Settings.
Alternatively, you can schedule this agent to run on an interval as short as every 5 minutes.
Hope this helps - this is just how workflow works. If there’s no reason to “split” the job in 2 paths, Dont !
