SYMPTOMS
========
When you use the Routing Wizard for parallel routing, you may not receive the
final report for several days, even though the posted message is approved or
rejected immediately by all the recipients.
CAUSE
=====
The Routing Wizard uses the following map for the routing process:
......
1010 Wait 0 10080
1012 Goto 0 1020
1014 Wait 0 0
1020 ORSplit 0 IsTimeout
......
5000 ORSplit 0 IsApprovedTable
......
10000 FinalizeReport 2 False False
......
20000 FinalizeReport 2 True False
......
20020 Terminate 0 0
20030 Goto 0 20020
30000 Terminate 0 1
......
You can only reach the ORSplit action at 5000 and create the final report when
the IsTimeout action returns True. However, the following action indicates that
the routing process will use the waiting time that was used by the previous Wait
action, which is 10080 minutes (7 days):
Wait 0 0
RESOLUTION
==========
Routing Wizard is a sample tool that is used to illustrate some of the
capabilities of the Exchange Server Routing objects. You can and should use the
ideas that are provided by the Routing Wizard to write your own tools. If you
want your tools to behave differently, you can modify the script source code or
change the routing map.
To speed up the routing process, modify the routing map as follows:
- Reduce 10080 (7 days) to a smaller number, such as 1440 (1 day).
To do this, replace the following code
1010 Wait 0 10080
with:
1010 Wait 0 1440
- Specify the wait time instead of using the existing waiting time.
To do this, replace the following code
1014 Wait 0 0
with:
1014 Wait 0 60 'one hour
STATUS
======
This behavior is by design.
