Question

limit on how many items can be processed within a "for each entry" activity

Laserfiche Cloud

I have a cloud based workflow that does a find entries activity that could potentially return up to 15,000 entries. There is a condition that evaluates a metadata value on each entry found. The workflow terminates when it reaches the 10,000'th entry. Is there a way around this? Ordinarily, I would perform a search repository but since that functionality is not available on the cloud system i'm having to use the find entries activity and iterate through all of those objects. Does anyone know if there is a setting where I can override the 10,000 maximum limit for the for each entry activity?

See service limits.

Thanks Miruna,

I found a workaround that seems to work by adding a sort to the find entries. I'm sorting using a field value in desc order, this way, I find the folder I want to work with before the system hits the limit of 10,000. Once I find the right folder, I end the workflow. Even though there are over 15,000 folders, only 5200 of them have a value in the field i'm comparing so it should never reach the 10k limit.

Can you tell me more about the overall process? Why do you need to go through all folders looking for a value?

I am also doing a very similar thing to Chris. We have to iterate through hundreds or thousands of folders because there is no 'Search Repository' activity.

In the Workflow Administration Console, go to Configuration and Right Click Advanced Configuration, then select Properties. This will open up a bunch of hidden configs in a new window.

The very last option of the very last tab is what your looking for to change the limit of 10k loops.

None of these options are applicable to the Laserfiche Cloud.
