Message type: E = Error
Message class: WD - Workflow definition
Message number: 295
Message text: Deadlines active, without dealing with missed deadlines
One of the three deadline types (latest end, requested end, latest
start) has been activated without defining a recipient for missed
deadline or modeled deadline monitoring.
If a deadline were missed a runtime, it would not be possible to notify
the appropriate recipient or deal with the missed deadline at all, and
the workflow is set to status <ZH>error</>.
In the Workflow Builder, enter a <LS>recipient for missed deadline</>
or an outcome name for modeled deadline monitoring in the step
definition. Any recipient specified in the task definition for the
relevant missed deadline is only notified if nothing is specified in
the step definition.
