how to prevent workflow from starting if instance exists

asked on December 7, 2020 • Show version history

is there any starting rules that checks for instance of workflow exists? 

 

I am dealing with Replace lookup table activity where it has the one hour limit. so i want to add some sort of a Queue aspect to the workflow starting rule. 

 

***scenario:

two files are uploaded that are different and will upload to different look up tables but at the same time. 

 

Any suggestions?

Laserfiche Cloud does not currently support single instance mode. But also, that wouldn't be enough because your workflow could run for milliseconds, but a second one will still fail until an hour has passed in this scenario.

You could create a queue folder and have workflow start on a schedule, pick up the first document, import it and move it to a different folder. Then an hour later, the next run picks up and imports the next file from the queue.
