how to set timerEvents, startdate and enddate

mhp

Hi,

Can anybody help me regarding this, i have tried in many ways.

I want to start a process on startdate, I will get startdate value from my applicaiton and the process should end on enddate, iam getting enddate from my application.

Iam doing like this:

<startEvent id="theStart" >
    <timerEventDefinition>
        <timeCycle>${sdate}/PT10H</timeCycle>
     </timerEventDefinition>
</startEvent>

please help me how to start and how to end the process, using timerEvents.

Thanks.

Hi,

You can't mix expressions and static text. So please use an expression with a full time cycle definition.
Why do you want to end a process explicitely with a timer definition? How would you model this in BPMN?

Hi Tijs,

Thanks for your reply,

In our application, there is a situation like we need to send a mail to projectManager on startDate of the projectRelease until the enddate of the release.

So I want use timeCycle such that for every 10 hours a mail will sent to the manager. And I want to stop to sending mails on end date of the release.

Thanks again.

I think you can mix expressions and static text, but it shoud be done in a way like
${''.concat(sdate).concat('/PT10H')}

I want to start a process to send a mail on startDate of ProjectRelease (startdate is in the form of : wed Mar 14 00:00:00 UTC+0530 2012) for every 10 hours and I want to stop sending mails on endDate of ProjectRelease (enddate is in the form of : wed Mar 21 00:00:00 UTC+0530 2012)

I thought, for above scenario timer definition is best way to use. If not please suggest me how to implement this in activiti.

Thank you.

@Ronald, then it's an expression right 😉

@mhp, your use case sounds like a Quartz job or so, not really like a process definition. If you do want this functionality you can include a time/date check after each cycle and end the process if necessary.
