Configuring the default duration for projected path discovery in Process Portal

There are several routes, or paths, that can be followed to complete a process instance. If projected path management is enabled for a process, the Gantt chart in Process Portal can display the projected path for an instance if distinct paths from the start to end nodes are found. You can configure the default time that Process Portal can take to discover the projected path.

Before you begin

Important: The following information applies to both Heritage Process Portal (deprecated) and Process Portal.

About this task

Property Default Description
calc-all-paths-processing-time-limit 20 Limits the amount of time (in seconds) that Process Portal spends trying to calculate the critical path.

If a projected path cannot be determined during this time, the Gantt chart does not display any future tasks. For all future instances of the process, the Gantt chart does not include any future tasks either. If the value is updated and the server is restarted, the projected path will be reevaluated for the next instance that is started.

Attention: The way in which a process is modeled affects the projected path discovery time. Certain modeling constructs cause longer discovery times and can result in a process timeout, stack overflow, or out-of-memory condition. For more information about these constructs, see Enabling process instance management.
Use the following XML snippet to make the configuration change in the 100Custom.xml file:
<common>
  <critical-path>
    <calc-all-paths-processing-time-limit merge="replace">20</calc-all-paths-processing-time-limit>				
  </critical-path>
</common>
