Configuration of Chained Work Patterns in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM
This section indicates how you can use the properties in the "Chaining" section of the WPProperties.properties file to control the way that chained work patterns behave.
Timeout Period
Once a user has started to work on a chain of linked work items, each successive work item must arrive from the Work Manager component within a given time after the previous one, or else the chain "breaks", and no further chained work items are executed. This timeout period is set at the Work Presentation level and is specified by the CHAINED_TIMEOUT property in the WPProperties.properties file.
The property defaults as follows:
CHAINED_TIMEOUT=2000
The default value of 2000 milliseconds (2 seconds) may or may not be suitable for your system. The optimum value will depend on the workload of your system and on the design of your processes, for example whether any other tasks intervene between two chained user tasks. You may therefore need to experiment to determine what timeout to select.
