Could you please post your complete bpmn20.xml so that I can test this at my end? Please see an example bpmn file which I created that matches your requirement and it works as per your requirement against the latest version (1.5) of Alfresco Activiti.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Regards,</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Sun, 23 Oct 2016 08:00:34 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/boundary-timer-event-timer-cycle/m-p/239539#M192669 cjose 2016-10-23T08:00:34Z
