About this task
You can manually complete a dependency, so that a work item no longer needs to wait for that dependency to be met. You can select any dependency within a flow and complete it. This is useful if the duration on a file event has expired, and the file is now available, or if you determine that the dependency can never be met, and there is a case for running the work item anyway.You can also manually complete a dependency that triggers a flow.
Procedure
- To manually complete a dependency within a flow, open the flow in the Flow Manager. To manually complete a dependency that triggers a flow, from the View menu, select Global View to display all of the flows.
- Right-click on the dependency line representing the dependency you want to complete.
- Select Complete Dependency. The dependency is completed, removing the dependency only for this occurrence of the flow. Completing a dependency has no impact on the flow definition.
Note: Removing a dependency does not automatically make a work item eligible to run—if it has other dependencies, it will wait for those to be met, unless you complete them also.
