| deadline monitoring |
Functions in the workflow runtime system, which monitor start and end deadlines for the processing of selected work items.
The monitoring of the requested start ensures that the work item appears in a Business Workplace at a defined point in time, and not before.
If a latest end, a latest start or a requested end is missed, there are two possible reactions:
Recipients of a missed deadline message are notified with a missed deadline work item in their Business Workplaces.
The reaction is modeled in the workflow definition.
