Server Timers Node

This node, under Server Configuration in the Workflow Administration Console, lists Workflow's available server timers. The Business Process Notification Timer lets you schedule when notifications are sent, create e-mail templates, and configure e-mails for the Workflow Notification System. The Database Maintenance Timer  lets you configure which database clean-up tasks will run and when they will run.

The following information is shown about each timer:

• Name: Name of the timer.
• Enabled: Whether the timer is enabled.
• Last Run: Lists the time the server timer last ran.
• Last Run Duration: Displays how long the last run of the timer took.
• Last Run Result: Lists the success or failure of the last run and provides information specific to the last run, such as if the run was affected by a holiday or weekend.
