Suggestion on Lifecycle Event

[_Gaurav]

Hello Everyone,
Could you give me a suggestion for configuring LE for a service?

For instance, I have 3 activity sets AS1, AS2, and AS3.
The trigger types of AS1 and AS2 are immediate however I need to make AS3 trigger on the completion of EITHER AS1 or AS2.

I also know we have a COMBINATION and ADVANCED trigger type to achieve this functionality, but in that case, the evaluation time is 4 hours and we don't want to wait that long to generate the tasks.
(Changing evaluation is time is not recommended)

Please share your thoughts on this if you ever encountered the same roadblock and what approach was used to achieve the functionality.

Thanks

Hi @_Gaurav ,

By default, the evaluation interval is 4 hours.  If you want to trigger the activity set sooner, there are 2 ways:

A)

Starting in the Utah family, the default evaluation interval can be changed.

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > Lifecycle Events > Manage Lifecycle Events.
2. Select a lifecycle event.
3. Select the Activity Sets tab.
4. Select the edit icon for an Activity Set.
   Note: In Journeys, stages are equivalent to activity sets.
5. Select Configure > All from the Additional actions list.
6. Select the Dictionary Entries tab.
7. Find evaluation_interval Column name.
8. Open the related Dictionary Entry.
   Note: To edit this record, you must be in the Human Resources: Lifecycle Enterprise application.
9. Select the Default Value tab.
   Default value format 0 04:00:00 is equal to d hh:mm:ss:

   • Days = d
   • Hours = hh
   • Minutes = mm
   • Seconds = ss
10. Change the Default value.
11. Select Update.

B)

This is not recommended as this could hit the max workflow activity count limit which will cause the workflow context to get cancelled.

The max workflow activity count can be updated by checking out the hr activity set launcher workflow and opening the workflow properties icon (under the activities tab).

Hi @_Gaurav ,

@Community Alums Thank you for the swift response.

The instance is in Vancouver. Wouldn't the whole Lifecycle event be canceled if I set the evaluation interval to 5 seconds (0 00:00:05) and exceeded the maximum workflow count?

Hi @_Gaurav ,

Yes, It would be Impacting the whole Lifecycle Event some or the other way.

Because if this activity set is dependent on other activity set, then it lifecycle would be impacted.
