HIe All ,

My requirement is to hit a service daily at a particular time , i.e at 12:00 noon . Here , i may recieve more than one request within the scheduled time.
so i have set 'AllowOverwrite' property to FALSE , to store the requests in a Queue (storage Q) .

Here is my flow Design

mqInput --> compute -->trycatch (try) -->timeoutcontrol
trycatch(catch) -->Queue
timeoutnotification-->MQget-->compute--> Soaprequestnode-->Mqoutput

trycatch(catch) -->Queue - purpose is to store the msgs if i recieve more than 1 request within the scheduled time. (acts as storage Q)

MqGet --> used to get all the msgs stored in it . a looping logic is written in the compute just a ahead of it in the flow.

this flow worked fine for many times but when i redeployed the flow again , the msgs were in the Storage Q itself , i mean to say , Timeout notification node is not being Trigged.
i redeployed the flow again deleting the existing generated bar and also restarted the EG as well , but i still dont find any change.
why has this happened ?? what might be the prob ??
what are the ones to be checked ? any problem with the Soap + Timer nodes combination ??

IMHO (and I expect a storm of protest) Timer nodes are not ideal for this kind of scenario. Remember that the "timer" is effectively a countdown timer which can (as you've discovered) be reset or affected by a number of situations. If you're trying to wait for n seconds before doing something else (like checking for a response) they're great. If you're trying to wait the n seconds until 12 noon tomorrow, they're less so.

I prefer to build the flow you're describing as

MQInput -> Compute -> SOAPRequestnode -> MQOutput

and drop the "timeout notification" message with cron or similar (which is great at doing 12 noon without fail).

My 2 cents, other solutions are undoubtably possible and may be better, the best solution for your situation varies according to your exact requirements, etc, etc.
