is there any timer end event?

hemamalini

i am new to activiti and BPMN. i am using some of the examples in activiti in action. i am designing a vacation request . Suppose the user submits vacation Request with vacation start date and end date. It goes to Group A team. That team can schedule the task. But if they didnt schedule, the request has to end if vacation end date is met. So i am looking for timer . Timer should run from vacation start date and end date. If suppose groupA schedule the task ,it goes to group B. Group B can only cancel the request( No approval is required). if group B cancel the request,it goes to groupA work queue. Group A can complete the task to end. If group B didnt cancel the request the request has to end. Please validate my workflow

Hi Hema,

But if they didnt schedule, the request has to end if vacation end date is met.

Use http://www.activiti.org/userguide/#bpmnTimerBoundaryEvent, with cancelActivity="true".

Martin

Thanks. i want to know if group A approves, it goes to group B,but it does not require group B to approve. But they can cancel the request. How to achieve that? If group B does not cancel the request, the request has to end.

martin_grofcik

Hi Hema,

Part of your process could look like:
<br>Start -> Group A approval  –> X –> Group B Cancel –> End<br>Group B Cancel user task can have boundary timer event with cancelActivity="true". In the case when timer is fired, user task is canceled and whole process can cancel request and end.

Martin
