title: Maximo escalation action fails on CI. Could it be locked?
body: <p>Dear Stackoverflow community,</p>
  <p>First of, I am not 100% sure if this question should be asked in this stack. If it does not, i'll remove this post.</p>
  <p>I have an <strong>ESCALATION</strong> running in ICD (IBM Control Desk / Maximo). This escalation is linked to an <strong>AUTOMATION SCRIPT</strong> through an <strong>ACTION</strong>. The script fires a http call to a REST API and logs the response. The escalation fires the action and thus the script for each found CI. The escalation finds thousands of CI's.</p>
  <p>Every now and then there are moments (aproximately one hour) where we get errors:</p>
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/HM9Nt.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/HM9Nt.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
  <p>During this time, hundreds of CI's are not scanned because the script does not run. I am trying to figure out why these errors occur. Hence the following question:</p>
  <p>If a script runs in Maximo, does the script need to finish in order to execute it again on another CI? In other words, if the script is somehow stuck or very slow, could it be a reason why the script won't fire for the other CI's? And in case of a asynchronous execution of the script, how many scripts can fire at the same time?</p>
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
