How to fix Pause delay in Workflow
Question
I am Usign 'pause' in Workflow with Sharepoint 2010
and I want to pause my Workflow for 1 minute:
But this 1 minute has a delay of 5 minutes...
Is there a way to fix this?
Solution
The pause in Workflow is used by SharePoint Timer Job, when the timer job runs, the workflow run.
The default time is 5 minutes. So If something starts at 15:02, at 15:05 the timer job will process. Note that this time can be extended if the timer job cannot complete all the tasks. Eg. 15:02 starts, but only at 15:10 timer job can complete the request to "unpause" the workflow.
You can change in CA the timer job processing time, but you should know that maybe in 1 minute is not enough to process everything.
