Hi,I am new to activiti, and trying to understand and implement a intermediate timer events. I want to instantiate many processes(say 2000-3000) for intermediate catch event ( which have a timer definition to fire at specific date). So here the timer for each instance may be longer (eg 2-3 months) s

No, none at all. Once a process instance reaches a wait state it is saved in the database. it can be there forever. No resources are consumed.

> Also I want to know if I can update the existing intermediate catch event with a different date at some other point before the timer ends

Yes, it will map to a Job. That job has a due date that you can change.

> could you also tell me if I can attach any identifier along with the instance of my intermediate timer event so that I can update that specific one later when needed

Yes, use a businessKey for your process instance or use a process variable.

Thank you for ur reply.
In the update operation as you mentioned it will map to a job, I want to know if you have any Api to update the timer event, or should I write a query on the activitii database explicitly?

Also could u plz tell me if u have an Api to delete timer event?

Thank you
