In my project I have different jobs. One jobs are long and may work in hour, and other jobs are quick and work in seconds.
I have to use big value in “lock-time-in-millis” cause of big jobs. But i need set smaller value for quick jobs. How can I arrive this?

Hi @mejiomah,

you can start with a short lock duration and extend it if you need more time: https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.13/user-guide/process-engine/external-tasks/#extending-of-locks-on-external-tasks.

Hope this helps, Ingo

Thank you for quick response. You mean I should use ExternalTask instead of Java Delegate for my jobs?

Hi @mejiomah,

yes.

You could also place the process models causing different jobs in separate process applications. They may share the process DB but use different settings for the job executor.
