This node, under Server Configuration in the Workflow Administration Console, lists Workflow's available server timers. The Business Process Notification Timer lets you schedule when notifications are sent, create e-mail templates, and configure e-mails for the Workflow Notification System. The Database Maintenance Timer  lets you configure which database clean-up tasks will run and when they will run. The Terminated Workflow Email Timer lets you configure Workflow to periodically send out email messages listing workflow instances that encountered a workflow terminating error.

The following information is shown about each timer:

• Name: Name of the timer.
• Enabled: Whether the timer is enabled.
• Last Run: Lists the time the server timer last ran.
• Last Run Duration: Displays how long the last run of the timer took.
• Last Run Result: Lists the success or failure of the last run and provides information specific to the last run, such as if the run was affected by a holiday or weekend.
