Question

Hi,

We did a below setup to trigger a process model once for every 2 weeks on Tuesdays. Everything was working.

One fine day we did some changes to the process model and deployed during weekend we expected the process model will trigger. But, it did not trigger.

Question: Process Model will count the weeks starting from the day when we did re-deployment? will it not remember initial processed day/week and trigger accordingly.

You define the first period after deployment using the "Scheduled Delay". The recurrence starts after that initial delay.

I thought process model will run as per the schedules irrespective of n-number of deployments in between. But, it is not behaving like that.

Any further help on this.

A typical approach is to add a XOR node to check that the initial run does not occur at a bad date.

I guess Appian does not remember the initial start date instead  it calculates the intervals based on the last time the process was executed.
