Work items

Each running workflow instance can have a work item. If a running workflow does not have a work item associated with it, the workflow writer picks up the workflow instance at the next scheduled run. The state of this work item is one of the following:

• Available
• Failed – PolicyCenter retries a Failed work item up to the maximum retry limit.
• Checkedout – PolicyCenter processes a Checkedout work item in a specific worker's queue after the work item reaches the head of that queue.
