Always On
Always On is the term used to describe a Workflow that executes continuously until explicitly stopped. Workflows that are enabled for Always On usually commence with a Trigger Node. When a sequence of execution completes, control is returned to the Trigger Node which blocks until the trigger condition is met.
To permit a Workflow to run in Always On mode, toggle the Can Run Always checkbox in the Workflow Design Settings Pane.
Once this setting is enabled, users will be able to start a Workflow in Always On from Workflow Landing Pane by clicking the toggle shown next to the desired Environment.
The Workflow will begin to execute immediately and will automatically be restarted within 15 minutes if it errors or is shut down due to an update or recycle.
Workflows that support both Run Now and Always On should have both the Start and Run Now Execution Flow Outputs connected on the Start Node. The Start output will be used when the Workflow is fired up under Always On, while the RunNow Output will be used for all other activation modes (e.g. Run Now, API Invoke).
