topic Loop with timer in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/loop-with-timer/m-p/160351#M114327 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I have a problem with implementing a loop with timer. I want a logic as, first print "Please Wait", then start timer for 3 seconds, then goes to a gateway to check a parameter. If the parameter greater than something print some message then end. If not goes back to the print waiting then timer. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Below is what I have…Now it works fine if I have parameter greater than something going directly to the end. But when the parameter goes below something, it should goes back to "Please Wait" then goes to timer to wait for another 3 seconds then goes to "Please Wait" again. But now it keeps printing "Please Wait" seems that it never stops at the timer. Anyone can help?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks!!</SPAN><BR /><BR /><BR /><SPAN>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>-&lt;definitions targetNamespace="</SPAN><A href="http://www.activiti.org/test" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.activiti.org/test</A><SPAN>" expressionLanguage="</SPAN><A href="http://www.w3.org/1999/XPath" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.w3.org/1999/XPath</A><SPAN>" typeLanguage="</SPAN><A href="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema</A><SPAN>" xmlns<img id="smileysurprised" class="emoticon emoticon-smileysurprised" src="https://connect.hyland.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-surprised.png" alt="Smiley Surprised" title="Smiley Surprised" />mgdi="</SPAN><A href="http://www.omg.org/spec/DD/20100524/DI" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.omg.org/spec/DD/20100524/DI</A><SPAN>" xmlns<img id="smileysurprised" class="emoticon emoticon-smileysurprised" src="https://connect.hyland.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-surprised.png" alt="Smiley Surprised" title="Smiley Surprised" />mgdc="</SPAN><A href="http://www.omg.org/spec/DD/20100524/DC" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.omg.org/spec/DD/20100524/DC</A><SPAN>" xmlns:bpmndi="</SPAN><A href="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/DI" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/DI</A><SPAN>" xmlns:activiti="</SPAN><A href="http://activiti.org/bpmn" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://activiti.org/bpmn</A><SPAN>" xmlns:xsi="</SPAN><A href="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance</A><SPAN>" xmlns="</SPAN><A href="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL</A><SPAN>"&gt;
