How to determine if any task is running within a workflow

Hi All,

 

I have a complicated workflow, which starts with an external signal. The Workflow has multiple end points and Jumps.

 

We need to determine, if any activity is running when the External Signal receives a call, if already aby activity within the workflow is already running, then we need to wait, till all the activities and completed and process the record.

 

Using isRunning, as there are multiple end points, multiple combinations to reset the variable exist, which is throwing of the purpose of that. Is there any other way to determine the running of tasks for this purpose

 

Regards,

DG

Hello @dganguly ,

you can take a look at the field @processDate that will tell you the last processed time

Also if you have field on workflow table called process @processId which only has number greater than zero if the worklfow is actually running.

workflow running (idle) with external signal

Worklfow actually running

 

 

Visually you can see if worklfow is running by seeing cog above the activity currently being processed.
