- Staff availability
- number of actors available to work on the given Task
Example C.1. Staff availability impact
Let's assume a simulation of 3 instances of a Process. A new instance is created every 30 minutes. The Process contains a None Start Event, a Human Task, and a Simple End Event. The Human Task takes 3 hours to complete, the Working hours is set to3. We have only one person to work on the Human Tasks, that is Staff availability is set to1. That results in the following:- The Human Task generated by the first Process instance will be executed after 3 hours;
- The Human Task generated by the second Process instance will be executed in approx. 6 hours (the second Process instance is created after 30 minutes; however, the actor is busy with the first Task; he becomes available only after another 2.5 hours, and takes 3 hours to execute the second Task).
- The Human Task generated by the third Process instance will be executed in approx. 9 hours (the second Human Task instance is finished after 3 hours; the actor needs another 3 hours to complete the third Human Task).
- Working hours
- time period for simulation of the Task execution

Where did the comment section go?
Red Hat's documentation publication system recently went through an upgrade to enable speedier, more mobile-friendly content. We decided to re-evaluate our commenting platform to ensure that it meets your expectations and serves as an optimal feedback mechanism.
