Property to use for knowing How many times a boundary timer has been executed?

ami

Hi,

We are providing parameters: 'cycles' and 'timeDuration' to the Boundary timer for performing some repetitive task .

The question here is: how can we get to know and show that How many times the boundary timer has been executed out of total given cycles ?

i.e. cycles = 5 and currently Boundary timer is executed 3 times (this 'number of times it is executed' info is needed).

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ami

In what context do you want to show how many times it has been completed?

External to the process, if you're just interested in checking, or building something that would query and check those values - so long as your store the value as a process variable, you could always use the REST endpoint for querying variable values.

In a similar vein (although this doesn't sound like a User Task you're repeating), you could potentially just display that process variable data somewhere in the forms. I imagine you're looking for something more like the REST option.

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks a bunch for the response.

We just wanna show it in the designer visually.

I have tried to check all Runtime tables of Activiti framework i.e act_ru_job, act_ru_execution etc, but I couldn't understand how Aciviti keeps track of the number of Cycles/times timer is executed executed (mentioned in configuration of boundary timer). It would be great if you can answer this question.

And if I get to know this, then I can take current state of variable/Property/or something that can tell me 'Number of times that timer has executed out of total mentioned Cycles'.

I have checked the link that you have shared, but couldn't understand the usability of it to get exact number of cycles executed, If you can provide me Sample code for doing so, I would really be thankful to you.

Thanks,

Ami Dave

Hi ami,

the information about timers is stored in act_ru_timer_job. There is a column called repeat_. In this column the time string is stored and decreased everytime the timer is executed. Therefore you would need to use the ManagementService to query the timer job and get the string there. But i don't know if there is a better approach.

Hope this helps a bit

Hi Niklas,

Thanks for providing helpful information.

Just a quick question, that you are talking about which version of Activiti? I think that Table and Value of the mentioned column would be there for upgraded version of activiti.

Because we are running on Activiti Framework version 5.15, and in that we have REPEAT_ = NULL in table act_ru_job (I didn't find any table like act_ru_timer_job for this version of Activiti).

Now suggest me someway for out current version itself.

Thanks,

Ami Dave
