I have following requirement and need help whether I can implement this using WF. I need a process that gets up automatically at scheduled intervals and update database and if it fails, it has to send a WI to a person.
I do not think we can do this but just want to hear from other experts.

I certainly think this can be done, but I would need to know more about exactly what you want to do. Here is what I think you need based on my current assumptions:
Have a job that runs on a cron that starts an instance of your process to update the db. The db update step is one activity and the error step would be another which only gets control when the update fails. _________________ John McDonald

Maybe there is a way but what is your concern about cron. If there is a sheduled task then cron is lot better than a workflow process.
Which is more reliable - UNIX or Workflow ?
