Hi all
I've been arguing with timer events for days, but i'm still losing.
Tried to look on the web, but couldn't find any help for this.
Can you please help me and explain me how to set Timer Events in Eclipse for bpmn2.0 diagrams?
I tried writing 5s as TimerDelay and 0s as TimerPeriod, but the process just stops at that node. Why? What shall I write to:
- wait 5 seconds
- wait untill a date
- cycle the process, triggering that event every 10s (for example)
Thanks all
Regards
Leo

Hi Bob,
Thanks for replying! I have trouble just on Eclipse, because I tried modifying the Timer data with XML and it worked. At least, worked when i wanted to terminate the process in 10 minutes if no operations were done. I don't even know what to write (in XML) if I want to trigger the Timer on a date, but I think (as I found on the web):
<timerEventDefinition>
<timeDate>2011-03-11T12:13:14</timeDate>
</timerEventDefinition>
Please, correct me if it's wrong.
I will read the documentations you are suggesting me, thanks again!
-edit-
I'm sorry to bother you so much, but I really can't figure out how to make timer works on Eclipse.
Why the process just terminates when it reaches the Timer? On Eclipse there are TimerDelay and TimerPeriod, while on the file you told me to read, there are three "things" about time: timeDate, timeCycle and timeDuration. How can I manage the Eclipse to use these three funcions?
Thanks again!
Best regards
Leo

Leo,
It probably depends on whether you're just trying to use the full BPMN2 specification, or limiting yourself to the constructs of one specific vendor. As most vendors don't support the full spec yet, or might have custom extensions.
For jBPM for example, we currently don't have support for the timedate attribute, so that means if you select jBPM as the target engine, that attribute will be hidden.
For timers that you want to fire just once, or repeatedly, we use a very simple, custom format:
* for just waiting once: "10s" or "5m" or "1d" etc.
* for repeated triggering: specify an initial delay and then a repeat interval, "10s###10s" or "1d###3d" etc.
Hope this helps
Kris

Thanks a lot Kris!
It helps indeed, but when I run as jUnitTest on the Eclipse, it just terminates at that node. May be a problem with Eclipse editor because it works when I deploy on server, using jBPM-console for Human Tasks.
Thanks again!
Best regards
Leo
