How to set deadline for postponed items

[happygal321]

How can I set the deadline to be 1 week after the transaction item was first processed? In my current workflow, I re-add the item to the queue and process it twice a day (max re-add is 14 – 7 days x 2 retries).

Setting up Deadline in Queue

Hello, I have a requirement to hard stop the process at 8:00 AM sharp everyday and all the pending items in the Queue should be inserted into an excel report? How can I achieve this? If I set the deadline, what happens to the items in the queue after the deadline, does the process automatically stop? Any help would be appreciated. Cheers!!

Hi @Maneesha_de_silva

I dont think is the answer to my question. I’m wondering how to set the due date to be 1 week after the transaction item was first processed. For example if TestItem was first process on Nov 23, 2020, then the deadline is Nov 30, 2020.

I have a sequence where it re-adds and postpones TestItem to the queue twice a day at 12pm and 5pm (until it succeeds). What do I put in the Deadline input box? I initially put DateTime.Now.AddDays(7), but this is incorrect since it adds 7 days to the current day, not the first processed day.
