To build a wait activity

  1. Drag a
    Timer catch event
    to the Process Editor canvas.
  2. In the Properties view, select a Wait Type: Duration or Deadline. You can select a static duration or deadline or create an expression.
  3. Select the duration or deadline static control or click the
    Dialog (...) Button
    next to Deadline or Duration Expression.
  4. In the Expression box, specify one of the following:
    • For a deadline, specify a date and time, such as
      '2010-12-12T12:00'
      . Be sure to include the single quotes.
    • For a duration, specify a time, such as
      'P1DT10S'
      . Be sure to include the single quotes.
In addition to the few examples below for deadline and duration expressions, you can see the examples given in the XML schema specification.
The following illustration shows an example of using a wait activity.
See the following:
  • http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#duration
  • http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#datetime
  • http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#date

XML Syntax

<wait (for="duration-expr" | until="deadline-expr")standard-attributes> standard-elements </wait>
Examples:
  • A duration of one second:
    <wait for="'PT1S'"/>
  • A duration of 1 year, 2 months, 3 days, 10 hours, and 30 minutes:
    <wait for= "‘P1Y2M3DT10H30M' "/>
  • A deadline with a date and time:
    <wait until="'2010-12-12T12:00'"/>
