HI Friends
I want to start a second activity only after certain time period (Say 5 day )of first activity.How can I do this.The solution I think is to have some thread which start after completion of first activity and when certain time is passed it set the flag which can be used by Ctrl Connecter to true.
Pls any body tell me better soln.
Thnx In Advance

I've not tried this, but I believe there is an option on the Process Instance Suspend API that allows you to specify a time period. If you do this, then the Instance Would be suspended and thus the Work Item, although it would exist could not be run. Be sure that you are using the Scheduling server if you try this approach, as all timing issues in MQWF require it to be running, and it does not run by default.
If you try this and find it successful, please post your results.
Good Luck

hi,
I have tried this delay of an activity using MQWF Buildtime, by seting the expiration of an activity to certain period(On the Exit tab).Also we need to be sure to change the Scheduling Server properties to say 30 secs(on the Network-->Domain -->Server properties tab).I was successful in delaying the activity but the subsequent activity becomes into a Ready state instead of a running state.
Still looking for the reason.
However a different approach is to use the block activity, which is equivalent to using a do-Until kinda activity.Just set an exit condition to the Block activity and the any process activity within the block will continue until the exit condition of the block is met.When u do this be sure to add a Source and Sink to the block activity and set the appropriate data mappings between the block and the activity within the block.
Regards,
yoscop |

The activity goes into a ready state because that's where it was when the Instance was suspended. You will still need to get the activity to run by issing a CO/CI or Start.
Setting Scheduling server to 30 second wake up time is extremely expensive from a performance point of view, unless you really need this I would recommend against it.
