Hi all,
I have a requirement to RUN my flow for 1 minute. Actually i have a flow to fetch data from database. Now what i need is i will check if the data is having all the records, if it missed any record to fetch then i need to re-run my flow to fetch again. I have to continue this process for 1 minute if correct data is not fetched. Then i will suspend my flow.
Please suggest me how i can RUN my flow for 1 minute. 
Thanks a lot in advance. |

That's ridiculous. Why not code the flow to fetch all the data it needs, ideally as the data arrives in the database, rather than run-stop-check-rerun-rinse-repeat?

You heard what happened to the RPG programmer, didn't you? They found his dead body in the shower... he was following the directions on the shampoo bottle and got stuck in a loop. Died of old age.

Hi Lancelothic and Vitor thanks for your replies.
Actually i will fetch data from buffer and on my request that buffer will fetch data from other place. So it is possible in my first execution all the data in the buffer is not present , as may be its flow in the process, so i need to execute my flow again to fetch the remaining data from buffer.
So please suggest me is there any way around to solve this issue.
Thanks a lot. |

I stand with "ridiculous". Given that you clearly have a way of determining if this "buffer" is complete (because you need to know if you need to run your flow again), only trigger the flow when this "buffer" is complete. Or better still drain the buffer as it fills and only process when you have complete data. Or have your flow fetch this data from this "other place".
Or almost anything else.

Fix the design.

 Define "buffer", its initial values for each flow instance..., its scope..., when all values are present and where to fetch them...
You NEED to redesign this.

Hi Thanks for your replies.
But actually it is something like we are making a webservice call to other flow. That flow is fetching data from a buffer. So if in the first call from that flow if all the data is not fetched then we need to make call to that flow again. This will continue for 1 minute if all ther required data is not fetched from other flow.
So please suggest me how to achieve this scenario. |

We cannot redesign the flow,, as the Other Flow is existing service so we can only use it, we cannot change it.
So what can be done please tell |

What "other flow"? You're dripping information on us.

Basically nothing. Your current flow design (run for 1 minute, check the results in some way you've not bothered to tell us, rerun the flow to get the rest of the data) cannot be achieved. It cannot be done. WMB will not do this.
You need to resdesign it. Why are you posting on this forum if you're not prepared to listen to our advice?
If the process that fills this database "buffer" is another WMB flow:
- it sounds like that's been designed to the same high standards you're trying to apply here (!)
- the fact that it's an existing service is no good reason it can't be extended to supoort you
- if it's a WMB flow as you indicate this gives you a number of potential solutions.
But if you're determined to stick with this design then go in peace and good luck to you.

The right design is having the service that is fetching the data from the buffer not return until the data fetched is complete...

I bought the OP that gift a couple of posts back. Let's hope we both kept the receipts.
