Monitoring Postponed Activities

The Postponed Activities view, which can be accessed via the Business Control Center perspective launch panel, displays the activity instances scheduled for resubmission.

Activities can be scheduled for resubmission, in case they have a timer event handler set up for resubmission. Please refer to chapter Resubmission for detailed information on how to schedule activity instances for resubmission.
 

Overview of Postponed Activities

The overview of postponed activities displays the following information about the visible team members:

• Total Count: total number of postponed activity instances. If the count is greater than zero, you can click on the number to open the according Show Activities table.
• Duration: average duration of the postponed activities (the time when it was started until now) in days, hours, minutes and seconds.

  The duration (how long the activity was postponed) is determined using the following way:
  duration (in milliseconds) += current time (in milliseconds) - activity start time (in milliseconds)
  The activity start time is when it was activated first. Then, the average duration of all the postponed activities is calculated using the following way:
  (total duration of all activities/total count of postponed activities)/1000 milliseconds/60 seconds/60 minutes/24 hours.

• Duration Exceeded: number of postponed activity instances with exceeded duration. If the number is greater than zero, you can click it to open the according Show Activities table.
