    This section provides more information about some features, and contains suggestions for improving the performance of your workflows
  - Persistence
  - Memory
  - Tracking Configuration
    You can track workflow, subprocess, and/or schedule data while a workflow is running.
  - Subprocesses
  - Start Workflow and Start Schedule Activities
  - While and For Each Activities
  - Write Activity
    The Write activity performs a set of writes to workflow variables. The source of each write can be an expression, a bind, or a user-defined absolute value.
  - If/Else Activity
    The If/Else activity changes execution of the workflow to one of multiple exit branches based on the resolution of a condition.

Persistence

Overview

The execution engine records internal tracking data that includes the state information associated with a running workflow instance. The execution engine persists the workflow instance state when a subprocess completes. The persisted state can be used to recover and restart a workflow instance from failure conditions, or if it was stopped. If a workflow is stopped normally, the postsubprocess, postprocess, and unload steps run before the instance stops (they will not run if the server crashes). The workflow instance can continue from the start of the current subprocess by using the restart command. When this happens, the instance restarts by running the load, preprocess, and presubprocess steps. Then it restarts at the beginning of the subprocess that was running before the workflow stopped.

You can significantly improve the performance of your workflows by implementing one or all of the following recommendations:

Decrease Persistence Points
Reduce Acticities
Enable Persistence
Disable Persistence
