Need to move workflow to next activity

I have a timer activity on an RITM workflow that was incorrectly set.   How can I "finish" this timer activity and have the workflow move onto the next item?

I need it to move onto the Catalog Task, "Remove the VM".

I went into the "Workflow Executing Activities" table record and set it to "Finished", but that did not fire the next activity.

Check out Way to stop a Workflow Timer, prematurely? .       The 4th reply to that from Jay Ford says :



Changing the state of the timer executing activity didn't do anything for me, so I found that the timer actually just creates a Scheduled Job under System Scheduler (sys_trigger_list). I set the next action time to 1 minute from my current time, it completed, then completed the activity and moved on in the workflow.

I owe you a beer!   You saved my you-know-what, and I thank you.


Thank you for the tricks, it works for me.
