does anyone know what the timing is for scheduled workflows running every 30 minutes? is it just vaguely "around :30 and :00 after the hour"? doesn't seem to be any way to tell or any info in suiteanswers

doesn't the timer start when you set it to released?

True, good point.

I'm fairly sure it's roughly at :30 & :00, regardless of when it's started.

No clue, replying to find out. I thought it was like scripts - centered on the creation/release time but with some wiggle depending on how much other stuff is activating.

Yes it always runs at :00 and :30 for me. There is some delay mostly because I have a few going so I'm pretty sure they go in some sort of succession. So some end up at :07 and :37. Stuff like that but mostly on the hour and half hour

Agree with @AI1 - I think they get put into some sort of queue with other tasks at :00 and :30 but depending on how many scheduled scripts + workflows, etc happening at that time, most my scheduled scripts don't start until 5-8 minutes after :00 and :30

that makes sense - i wonder if it only queues up with other workflow scheduled tasks or if it shares the queue with scheduled and map/reduce scripts? i also wonder how much impact suitecloud plus licenses have on scheduled workflow queues

Yes I believe the Scheduled workflows are considered the exact same as Scheduled Scripts but I think they are different than MR scripts. With suitecloud plus you get multiple threads/queues and I feel like NS will utilize them dynamically to complete the tasks scheduled if one queue is backlogged.

Did you ever test this and get a definitive answer, @al3xicon ?

it seemed to be what the consensus was - they do run on 00 and 30, but not exactly - and there's no way to see where they are in the queue or exactly on what minute they will execute
