A permanent workflow is a workflow that needs to run continuously on a consistent schedule based on business needs or requirements. For example, you may wish to create a workflow that runs once a day and sends an e-mail alert to a manager if any of their direct reports had not logged into the system in a certain number of days. In EmpowerID, a permanent workflow can only run on one worker role container (server) at a time, and only one instance of the permanent workflow can run at a time.
Permanent Workflows Are a Managed By a Job
At least one server must be running this role for any permanent workflow to function.
Each permanent workflow can be enabled/disabled and configured individually.
