wait step in BPM

[Former Member]

Hi All,

The minimum BPM-wait duration is 1 min and cannot be decreased below that....can we use 0.5 for 1/2 min.

or can any one suggest what would be alternate option to achieve 2 to 3 min delay.

One solution is to write a mapping and use udf to delay for one 2 to 3 seconds.Apart from this any other better solution

Please suggest

Regards,

Hi,

As mentioned in above thread the wait time in BPM is minimum of 1min...

You may achieve this using sleep method in UDF. but that's not preferrable option because sleep is a static method that puts the current thread to sleep. Its not good coding practice to call static methods on instance. If in case multiple instances are running then there may be possiblity of multiple threads to be down..It increases the load on remaining resources of server.

Thanks

Introducing a delay of les than a minute is not possible in the BPM (using a Wait step)

The other method (using UDF in mapping....sleep.Thread) should work and does not seem to induce any performance issue.

or can any one suggest what would be alternate option to achieve 2 to 3 *min* delay.

The Wait step itself should be useful for this requirement.

For having the delay in seconds use the UDF.
