Troubleshooting
Symptom
Too long to see workflow task after completion
of activity
Too long to complete many end-to-end
workflows (not enough throughput)
Document search takes too long
Cause (Action)
Drag and drop is enabled (Disabling drag and
drop, page 63).
Custom preconditions are set on each row in
task list (Avoiding unnecessary preconditions,
page 50).
In-between (automated) activities take too long
(Configuring the workflow agent (polling), page
29).
Too many activities ahead of you (Minimizing
and consolidating activities, page 27).
Polling interval too long or too short
(Configuring the polling interval, page 31).
Wrong number of workflow threads or workflow
agents (Increasing workflow threads and adding
Content Servers, page 28).
Single workflow instance takes too long to
complete (Maximizing throughput across all
workflow instances, page 28).
Manual activity workload not partitioned
properly (Avoiding manual bottlenecks, page
32).
Wrong number of workflow threads or workflow
agents (Increasing workflow threads and adding
Content Servers, page 28).
System not sized properly (Increasing workflow
threads and adding Content Servers, page 28).
Too many results returned from query
(Restricting advanced search results, page 46).
Search criteria not specific enough (using case
insensitive partial keyword search) (Using
search criteria, page 43).
Querying across multiple database tables
(Designing the process object model (using
structured datatypes), page 37.
Drag and drop is enabled (Disabling drag and
drop, page 63).
Custom preconditions are applied to query
results (Avoiding unnecessary preconditions,
page 50).
