Boundary Timer Event Activity
The Boundary Timer Event activity provides time-based control over process execution. It initiates a timer when an attached activity starts, interrupting it upon completion and redirecting the process flow.
| Field | Description | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Execution listeners | Listeners for an activity, process, sequence flow, start and end event. | Optional |
| Time cycle (e.g. R3/PT10H) | Define the timer with the ISO-8601 cycle. | Optional |
| Time date in ISO-8601 | Define the timer with ISO-8601 date definition. | Optional |
| Time duration (e.g. PT5M) | Define the timer with ISO-8601 duration. | Optional |
| Time End Date in ISO-8601 | Define the timer with ISO-8601 date definition. | Optional |
| Cancel activity | Provides the activity cancelling. | Optional |
Technical Notes
A Boundary Timer Event functions as both a stopwatch and an alarm clock. When the activity to which it is attached begins execution, a timer is started. Upon the timer firing (e.g., after a specified interval), the primary activity is interrupted, and the sequence flow originating from the timer boundary event is followed.
