Workflow batch jobs not running

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I have an installation of Dynamics AX 2012 R3 running in a live environment for a client. I have configured the AOS service as a batch server, and i have ran the workflow configuration wizard. Even though the batch jobs are created, they never run. They constantly have a 'waiting status' . How do i fix this? Please help! The situation is slowly turning into a crisis

    normaly the 3 list record of workflow, field Start date/time is moving harmonious with current datetime/machine.except for the workflow due date processing, its 30 minutes earlier.  


    do you have any other suggestion?

    Thankyou

    Husna

    Yes, indeed the setting to Always for Save to history was just to understand if the job was actually running or not.

    Edward - you need to change this setting back to Only error now, and look elsewhere for the errors, as the other members suggested.

    Just an additional note on the remark ' save to history': I would not recommend the setting always for this task as it usually runs every minute. Error only is sufficient. But is you do so, create a procedure to clean up the batch history periodically.
