Hello,
I want my flow run at specified interval but it activated immediately after setting it up in a TimeControl node.
I use this code to set the TimeControle node:
| Code: |
SET OutputLocalEnvironment.TimeoutRequest = NULL;
SET OutputLocalEnvironment.TimeoutRequest.Identifier = 'Timer2';
SET OutputLocalEnvironment.TimeoutRequest.Action = 'SET';
SET OutputLocalEnvironment.TimeoutRequest.StartDate = 'TODAY';
SET OutputLocalEnvironment.TimeoutRequest.StartTime = 'NOW';
SET OutputLocalEnvironment.TimeoutRequest.Count = 1;
SET OutputLocalEnvironment.TimeoutRequest.Interval = getStatusSec;
SET OutputLocalEnvironment.TimeoutRequest.IgnoreMissed = TRUE;
SET OutputLocalEnvironment.TimeoutRequest.AllowOverwrite = FALSE;
|
The problem is the TimeNotification activated immediately (in debug) independently the value of getStatusSec variable.
Could someone help me, please? |

I think it is working as designed as the StartDate is set as TODAY and StartTime as NOW, the 'Interval' value just allows you to specify the time delay between the message propagations.
If you want the timer events to start triggering at a specific time use 'hh:mm:ss' to specify it for StartTime param.
If your intention is to emit timer events throughout the day (every X seconds) then why does it matter if the event starts as soon as the flow is deployed (i.e NOW)? |

Thank you for your answer abhi_thri. I have understood.
There is another flow with a SOAPRequest node (file upload). Its response a secundum what tells me how many seconds later I can ask the status of upload.
1. First SOAPRequest upload a file.
2. It get back a sec which is set a TimeControl node.
3. The TimeNotification node will be activated in the given sec.
I hope I explained it clearly.
So I must a time in the future when I want to run it first then an interval when it runs at next time? |

Timer node at Broker/IIB are generally gets mixed up with Scheduler. Timer of Timer node starts as soon as you deploy/stop-start the Mflow/Application. Interval is a delay/gap between two instances of time, it's not a fixed schedule.
