		+
		+	'''Batches for some activities do not get created at all'''
		+	:* This happens if activities from the existing batches cannot be assigned due to any of the above reasons. These activities keep getting picked up on account of the preference. The only way out is to either get these activities assigned/completed or the preference changed.
		+
		+	'''Activities end up in the Exception queue'''
		+	:* Analyze error messages in <Unified EIM / Unified WIM Install Dir>/logs/eg_log_<server_name>_rules-process.log OR eg_log_<server_name>_rules-cache-process.log
		+
		+
		+	'''''Best Practices'''''
		+
		+	'''Workflow process – sizing and performance'''
		+	:* JVM heap size
		+	:** Depends on how complicated the workflows are, and whether there are memory intensive operations
		+	:** Changing Rules process JVM heap size in egpl_dsm.xml
		+	:* Avoid many instances per process, to prevent memory errors
		+	:* If the load is high, or faster processing is needed, create additional processes and instances
		+	:** Assignment and Reassignment will happen only once in two cycles
		+	:* Batch size may be increased to accommodate more mails per cycle
		+
		+	'''Others'''
		+	:* Use ‘Always’ routing, if agent affinity is required
		+	:* Adjust user load as per requirements
		+	:* Adjust restart interval based on time needed for processing of a batch
		+	:* Use separate queue for Undeliverables

		+	'''Workflow does not seem to be processing activities – activities in 3100, 3200, 3300, 3400 sub statuses''' Are workflow engine process and instance running?
		+	:* Are workflow cache .ser files present? – Restart workflow cache and workflow engine processes and instances
		+	:* Is the activity part of an expired work batch?
		+	:** Change working status or wait for the batch to get expired
		+	:** Decrease batch expiry delay to for future batches – pitfalls?
		+	:* Is the Work Allocation thread running?
		+	:** Check latest rules-process log for statement 'Work Allocation running‘
		+	:** Restart workflow process and instance if thread is not running
		+	:* Is WAT entry still not happening?
		+	:** Check the EGPL_ROUTING_VARIABLE table and ensure that the last_processed_id is one lesser than the value of ID (egpl_routing_work id and not activity_id)
		+	:* Is the workflow engine thread running?
		+	:** No log statement in <Unified EIM / Unified WIM Install Dir>/logs/eg_log_<server_name>_rules-process.log OR eg_log_<server_name>_rules-cache-process.log
		+
		+
		+	'''Workflow does not seem to be processing activities – activities in 3100, 3200, 3300, 3400 sub statuses (cont’d ..)'''
		+	Is the workflow engine thread running?
		+	:* No log statement in <Unified EIM / Unified WIM Install Dir>/logs/eg_log_<server_name>_rules-process.log OR eg_log_<server_name>_rules-cache-process.log
		+	:* Has there been a problem with DSM trying to restart the process and instance?
		+	:** Check <Unified EIM / Unified WIM Install Dir>/logs/eg_log_<server_name>_DSMController.log
		+	:* Are there any OutOfMemory errors in <Unified EIM / Unified WIM Install Dir>/logs/ eg_log_<server_name>_rules-process.log?
		+	:* Increase heap size from <Unified EIM / Unified WIM Install Dir>/config/egpl_dsm.xml
		+	:** Check the Task Manager - Is the OS process ID (found in the latest rules_process_log or egpl_process_ids.properties) actually running?
		+
		+
		+	'''Activities are getting routed to the Exception queue'''
		+	:* Query egpl_notes table of Active DB (or notes details from UI) for information on workflow/reason
		+	:* Check <Unified EIM / Unified WIM Install Dir>/logs/eg_log_<server_name>_rules-process.log OR eg_log_<server_name>_rules-cache-process.log
		+	:** Look at SEVERE logs containing the Activity ID
		+	:** Work Allocation INFO level logs on ‘Range of activities in current work…’ and ‘Deleting range :…’ are also useful.
		+
		+
		+	'''Activities are getting routed to Exception queue'''
		+	:* Check Audit trail from egpl_event_history_case_mgmt and egpl_event_history_user
		+	:* Activity could have been in 3900 state, and the workflow process and instance may have been restarted by DSM, because the batch processing exceeded the restart time interval
		+	:** Look for note - I18N_EGPL_ROUTING_MOVING_ACTIVITY_TO_EXCEPTION_QUEUE_AS_RULE_FAILED_TO_EXECUTE
		+	:** Increase the restart time interval
		+	:** Investigate the slowness – maybe the DB needs re-indexing, or Archiving of activities is needed.
		+
		+
		+	'''Changes made to workflow are not reflected in activity processing'''
		+	:** Check if config\routing\cache.ser files are latest
		+	:** Restart workflow cache and workflow engine processes and instances
		+	:** Check Message listener health from Weblogic/JBOSS Admin Console
		+
		+
		+	'''Activities are in 4100 sub status with queue_id as null'''
		+	:* Check if there is an active workflow for the entry point alias. If no, check if there is an active Finish workflow
		+	:* If the workflow has been newly created, it may not have reflected due to cache related problems. Restart workflow cache, and engine processes and instances.

New page

== '''Workflow execution''' ==

'''Workflow Cache processing'''
:* Creates workflow related .ser files
:* Message driven

'''Workflow Engine processing'''
:* Assignment – Pre-routing
:* Reassignment – Routing to user

'''Assignment'''
:* Work Allocation
:** Active DB tables: EGPL_ROUTING_WORK, EGPL_ROUTING_WAT, EGPL_ROUTING_VARIABLE
:** Unfinished batch - working_status = 0
:** Expired batch - working_status = 1
:** New batch

'''Assignment'''
:* Activity processing
:** Workflow processing, till activity reaches queue
:** Sticky agent (i.e. same agent who originally responded to the customer) applied at Assignment time also

Reassignment
:* Work Allocation
:** Active DB tables: EGPL_ROUTING_ASSIGN_WORK, EGPL_ROUTING_ASSIGN_WAT
:** Unfinished batch - working_status = 0
:** Expired batch - working_status = 1
:** New batch
:*** Not an exception queue
:*** Preference wise and proportionate to the count, not department wise

'''Activity processing'''
:* Alternate Assignment and Reassignment cycles

'''Reassignment'''
:* Activity processing
:** Sticky agent
:** Round robin / Load balance
:** Processed batch gets deleted
:** Unprocessed batch – if instance is stopped in between
