[CRM2011] Custom Workflow Activity - Cross instance interference

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hi all

I have a custom workflow entity that accepts three lookup input parameters and returns one output parameter of type Money.

It is defined on an active process that's triggered on the creation of Invoice Product.

Our system generates bulk invoices (up to 30), and therefore ~40 Invoice Products can be created instantly.

With the result that the output from one instance of the workflow is carried into another giving incorrect results.

If I run the workflow manually again, it returns the correct result.

I have defined the IOrganisation Service in the Execute Method and pass it to sub routines (as opposed to class level var - as I received strange errors that way)

I believe this is a bug. 

Is there a workaround?

Perhaps there is a way to allow the workflow to sleep for a random number of minutes? How can this be achieved?

Any solutions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

    Hi

    In CRM 2011 all workflows are ASync.

    The above suggestion would simply delay all the workflows for 5 minutes, and therefore the same issue will occur 5 minutes later.

    Is there some way to use a random amount of time as opposed to a fixed 5 minutes?

    I am currently writing another workflow that simply does the following:

    Dim RandomV As New Random()

    _FutureTime.Set(context, Now.AddSeconds(RandomV.Next(10, 240)))

    Will see if it works.

    Hi,

    I believe your workflow configured as Real Time workflow?

    If background workflow You may use Wait Condition Timeout in workflow step. See if this help you out.
