Allow extension of time limit for executions (increase scenario MAXIMUM EXECUTION TIMEOUT) Workfront Fusion

Please allow users to extend the 45 minutes max time for the execution of scenarios... I understand that it's good to have this limit in place as a default to save scenarios from looping. However, it would be very useful if it was possible to set this limit manually. It's a deal-breaker for us in regards to what we are trying to achieve with Adobe Workfront Fusion. The scenario we want to build requires more than 45 minutes, once in a while, and if we cannot allow for that, then we can't use Workfront.
Here's the error message we get when it happens:

 

  • Execution was requested to stop
  • Execution was requested to stop because MAXIMUM EXECUTION TIMEOUT [40 minutes] had elapsed

How can i resolve this bug?

    I would firstly consider ways to make the processing more efficient. Secondly if it still takes longer than a single execution can run, you can likely break the work into smaller units that could be processed by successive executions.  Perhaps a data store could be useful as part of achieving this.

      Thank you for the feedback @davidcornwelllp , I have a search module(GET) that gets about 20k to 60k records

      what would you recommend to do more efficient this module?

       

      Thanks

      Hi @andcama. I would consider breaking your process into two scenarios. In scenario 1, get it to write all the search results into a data store. In scenario 2 have it scheduled to run every 5 minutes and pick up a subset of the records (say 5000) from the data store and process them. Then the next execution will pick up another 5000 and so-on until they're all done. If you need any help implementing we can assist on a consulting basis.

       

      Workfront and Fusion are a powerful combination so it's well worth persisting with.

       

      All the best.
