webMethods Task Engine uses date/time events to schedule task actions for a particular time. The task developer configures date/time events when creating the task type in Software AG Designer. Event triggering times are defined as fixed dates or time intervals, and the time intervals can be calculated using a business calendar, or the output of a webMethods Integration Server service. For more information about configuring date/time events for a task, see webMethods BPM Task Development Help.

When a task type with a date/time event is published to My webMethods Server, Task Engine stores precalculated values for the triggering time of the event. Those precalculated values might become irrelevant over time.

To correct this behavior, you can recalculate the existing triggering times for date/time events manually, when republishing a task type, or periodically, by setting automatic recalculation that fits the workflow of your organization. For more information about manual date/time event recalculation, see Recalculating Date/Time Events for a Single Task Type and Recalculating Date/Time Events for All Task Types. For more information about automatic date/time event recalculation, see Scheduling Date/Time Event Recalculation for a Task Type.
