Workflow Acceleration Schedule

A Workflow Acceleration schedule facilitates the workflow approver acceleration process for workflow requests. This schedule is auto created when approver acceleration is enabled for the identity store. See the Workflow Approver Acceleration topic for additional information.

By default, the schedule runs daily to accelerate workflow requests to approvers, according to workflow acceleration settings for an identity store and some predefined rules for approver acceleration. It also generates notifications to inform approvers about pending workflow requests.

You cannot create or delete a Workflow Acceleration schedule; only update the existing one.

Update the Workflow Acceleration Schedule​

Follow the steps to update the Workflow Acceleration Schedule.

Step 1 – In Admin Center, click Identity Stores in the left pane.

Step 2 – On the Identity Stores page, click the ellipsis button for an identity store and select Edit.

Step 3 – Click Schedules under Settings in the left pane.

Step 4 – On the Schedules page, click the plus sign next to Workflow Acceleration. Then click the ellipsis button for the schedule and select Edit.

Step 5 – On the Edit Schedule page, the Schedule Name and Name Preview boxes display the name of the schedule as read-only. The schedule is displayed with the name displayed for Name Preview in email notifications

Step 6 – In the Scheduler Service Name drop-down list, select a Scheduler service that would be responsible for triggering this schedule. The number of services displayed in the list depend on the number of nodes in all Elasticsearch clusters in the environment, as each node has its own Scheduler service. See the Scheduler Service topic for additional information.

Please note the following while selecting a Scheduler service:

  • The Scheduler service for the Directory Manager instance on which you are creating the schedule is selected by default. However, you can select the Scheduler service of another instance as well.

  • The Scheduler service can be changed even after creating the schedule. Upon the next run, the schedule will be triggered by the newly-selected Scheduler service.

  • If the selected Scheduler service fails to trigger the schedule, then no other Scheduler service can be selected automatically.

  • If a schedule is run manually on the Admin Center, then the Scheduler service of that instance will be used.

Step 7 – The Triggers area displays the default triggering frequency for the schedule.

  • To change it, click Edit for it.
  • To add a new trigger, click Add Trigger.

Follow step 11 in the Create a Group Usage Service Schedule topic to manage triggers.

Step 8 – The Authentication area displays an account for running the schedule in the identity store. To change it, click Add Authentication. Follow step 12 in the Create a Group Usage Service Schedule topic for additional information.

Step 9 – Click Update Schedule.

Step 10 – On the Schedules page, click Save.
