Monitoring Hung Workflow

This approach sends an email notification if a task runs longer than a stipulated time, such as 20 minutes. It uses a workflow variable set to 'N' by default. An assignment task changes the variable to 'Y' after the long-running task. A timer task then waits the stipulated time. If the timer succeeds and the variable is still 'Y', an email is sent. This notifies only of delays and does not impact the workflow otherwise.

Approach to send an Email Notification when a Job runs for a Long time:

Description: Here is an approach to send an Email Notification if a desired task is running for a long time or exceeding a stipulated time. This approach doesnot send an email notification when the desired task runs normally or within the stipulated time.

Approach: This approach enables to send an email notification if a Task is running for more than a stipulated time [or say 20 mins] . Here in the below scenario consider the EventWait task to check its run time. Create a Work flow variable $$GO_SIGNAL_FOR_EMAIL with nstring as [Link] the default value of this variable to a character N and validate it. Create an Assignment task next to the Task for whose delay a notification has to be sent . Link the Assingment task to the parent task using a link [Link] the Assignment task connect to the rest of the tasks in the workflow. Now assign the workflow variable $$GO_SIGNAL_FOR_EMAIL inside the assignment task with a character Y. Now connect a Timer task to the Start task as shown below or to the Task for whose delay a notification is to be sent . Now set the Timer task with the time it has to wait for to send a notification as below:

Connect an Email task to the Timer task using a link [Link] the link task which is in between the timer and email tasks define a condition as: $[Link]=SUCCEEDED AND $$GO_SIGNAL_FOR_EMAIL != Y . Validate it and after whole Work Flow is completed save and proceed for running it.

Advantages: Does not impact the rest of the workflow. Sends an email notification only when the desired Task is running for more than the stipulated time.

Limitations: The overall status of the Work Flow is shown as Running until the Timer task is SUCCEEDED. *Note: Even the Timer task is succeeded the approach only sends an Email Notification when it the desired task exceeds the stipulated time set.
