Currently, I'm developing a SPOnline workflow trying to automatically assign a task monthly, quarterly, or yearly based on a drop down box value. From what I've been testing, the pause for duration, set at 5 minutes, seems to hang and does not resume the workflow after pausing. I have tried removing the pause for duration action and have had a successful task assignment. Heres how it flows currently with the problem:
Step / Action
1 / Workflow Initialized
2 / Determine Month/Qtr/Year based on drop down list
3 / Pause based DDL value (This is where it hangs)
4 / Set document approval status to Pending
5 / Assign a task
6 / Set document approval status to Completed
No matter what time interval I set it to, it seems to hang and not complete the workflow or go to the next task. I've tried the following steps:
• Debugging the workflow by removing pause for duration step
• Changed regional settings to match server
• Broken up workflow actions into multiple steps and vice versa (seeing if pause needs to be seperated out)
• tried 5,10,15,30 min and 1 hour pauses
Any suggestions on what to look at or if Pause for Duration is not working properly? Thanks!!
