Workflow limits

Is there any limits on number of workflows can fire in day? or is it unlimited? Each workflow can have a field update which may call a trigger to fire also. So if 10000 workflows fire at a time, how salesforce handles that? any idea or suggestions?

 

Thanks

I think there limita w.r.t. workflows :-

1. In the number of workflows you can have in an org

2. In the hourly limit of workflow firing

 

I say so as during 1 of my projects I got the following mail from salesforce:-

Subject:-  Hourly limit exceeded for processing workflow time triggers

Your organization (XYZ-ABC) has reached its hourly limit for processing workflow time triggers. Processing will resume in the next hour. For information on application limits, see the salesforce.com online help.

Hey folks, I have a query...

 

I have 1 workflow rule with a field update. This is a time dependant update, with an unlimited number of records being updated.

 

 

As I understand it, I can have 500 Workflow Time Triggers Per Hour (Enterprise). What I am not clear on, is what happens if I breach 500 records? Do they just not update? Or do they delay? 

 

 

To clarify, it is a single TD workflow which updates multiple records.

This is the question I keep running into and not finding an answer to as well...

I'm trying to build a workflow - one rule, one field update - but that one field update may update as many as 150,000 records. So what can I expect to happen if it tries to update that many records at once?

I have come across a nice workflow and a document management tool, it is called Ultra Documents. It is very simple and easy to use; you can get setup and start a workflow in minutes. Ultra Documents comes with Document Management, document merging, Workflow process, Custom Forms, Electronic signature & various applications, the nice thing is it has a free version with all features available to you. Give it a try.
