Running Business Processes Multiple Times by Accident

asked on August 12, 2016

I have some staff working on a large workflow that we are operating that are not overly technically savvy. We keep running into an issues where they are launching the workflow multiple times without realizing it. It seems to be an issue that we will struggle to correct through training, so what I'm wondering, is if there is a way to not allow a business process to be started if the same one is currently running?

There unfortunately is not a way to do this as easily as what you would like.

In these cases, what we do is have the first step add a piece of Metadata such as "Task Status:  "Running". Then, in the workflow, we check for that value first thing, and if the piece of metadata matches our placeholder, just terminate the instance and do not go further.
