Thanks Hassang and Rob. I added the following to bpm-platform.xml and restarted WAS 8.5.5. (Websphere)
<job-executor> <job-acquisition name="default" > <properties> <property name="maxWait">1000</property> </properties> </job-acquisition> </job-executor>
It did not make a difference. In fact, the behavior was exactly the same - 60 seconds delay. Are there any other config properties that need to be set? I also noticed the job-executor properties are limited to Tomcat. Are job-acquisition properties also limited to Tomcat, and if so, it obviously will not affect the behavior of our Websphere 8.5.5 env.
Thanks again for you prompt responses. Let me know if there are other properties to be changed as well.
