RITM workflow Explanation needed.

[venkateshdhanap]

Hi,

Can any one help me out for understanding of this SLA work flow for Ritms.

How the above Workflow is working because i am new to create workflow. Actually i have created the workflow of Catalog items

but this workflow is completely different from that workflow. It is not not sequencial, it has 3 parrallel flow, I want to know

1. What is mean by SLA Percentage Timer ?

2. How and why 3 parrallel flow is created ?

3. what are the operations done in these 3 flows?

4. How to create Notification tasks?

!Thanks In Advance

Hi Venkatesh,

The three parallel paths are used to trigger notifications (via events) at 25% increments in the SLA. The SLA timer is used to wait until those times happen. If my SLA is 4 hours, The first timer will wait until 1 hour, then drop in to the Run Script (and do something I cannot see) and then reach the create Event. Hopefully, there is a notification that reacts to that event and sends the notification.

At the same time the first timer splits, it goes and waits another 25% and does the same then when that time is expired.

The Join is used to ensure that all the paths meet up before the workflow reaches END and shuts down.
