Workflow max number of activities

rosi58 · ‎09-14-2017

Hi,

I'm a unsure about what the workflow property 'Max activity count' stands for.

Is it the max number of activities in all currently executing contexts of a workflow,

or is it the max number of activities in a single executing context of a workflow?

It's the number activities in a single context. If you have a looping workflow (with rollback to or similar activities) you can potentially create an infinite loop. This counter prevents the WF from running away uncontrolled. In some situations, where you have a complex workflow, you may need to bump the number up (e.g. 500)

I do not recommend setting it to an extremely high number like 100,000 or you could run in to performance problems with a runaway context.

Hi Rolf,

Maximum number of activities for a workflow by default is 100.

It can be increased by clicking on properties & looking for Activity tab

In short it is used for increasing number of activities.

Note: If you do not increase the activity count & if you have more than 100 activities then the activities would be cancelled automatically.
