Well...in 7.x escalations don't hafta be single threaded...so if you are running that...you can solve your issue...but basically when an escalation finishes running it sets it's 'next run time' in the queue, then checks the queue to see if there are any others...so yes...if they overrun their timings...you can come into a situation where escalation is always busy.
_____ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Barber, David Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2008 9:28 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Escalation timings ** Just a general question on escalations ... Say if we have several escalations in place on different timings. Escalation A - 3 minutes Escalation B - 5 minutes Escalation C - 7 minutes Escalations are a single thread, so run in sequence. If say some of the escalations could possibly take longer than their scheduled time to run - the 3 minute one taking 4 minutes, etc. will they all just be continually running in sequence?
