How Workflow Policy with Duration Works?
Post your doubts and comments below
Workflow Policy which has a duration specified -
1. When the workflow policy conditions are violated, a new row gets inserted into S_ESCL_REQ table.
2. Now, if DURATION is specified in Workflow Policy, the Workflow Monitor Agent inserts a new record into the S_ESCL_STATE table and removes the row from S_ESCL_REQ table.
3. Depending on the Sleep Time parameter, Workflow Monitor Agent wakes up and verifies the S_ESCL_STATE table to check if the row had reached its expiration time in the END_TM column.
4. When the record completes its duration, Workflow Monitor Agent verifies if the record is still in violation and dispatches the record to SR Broker to process it.
5. After that, It processes the record as described in earlier point from (6 – 10) of previous post.

This means…..that when you do some insert or update on your BC, and that operation matches the Policy Condition …it runs a workflow.
So, by Violation of Policy , I mean to say that its condition getting met….
not sure its a common practice, but in my company i got to know about this terminology, to address this policy condition met.
What do we mean here by ” if the record is still in violation”( Refer Point Number 4)

” if the record is still in violation” . This means that, your workflow policy conditions are still meeting. Means they have not changed, in the time duration when the policy fired and the current time.
The record’s values should still satisfy the policy conditions, then only monitor agent picks the record from S_ESCL_REQ table and process it
