TimeEvent with two timeCycle expressions

[mstrom]

Hi there,

What's the best practice for a Timer Event that has two different cron expressions? It seems like bpmn's specification only allows one timeCycle node.

Thanks!

A timer event definition can have exactly one element of either timeDate, or timeDuration, or timeCycle. Why do you want to have two different cron expressions in a timer event?

You can use an expression for the timer event definition to set the value based on a process variable.


<timerEventDefinition>
  <timeCycle>${mycron}</timeCycle>
</timerEventDefinition>

Thanks for the reply. In this case, it takes two cron expressions for me to schedule what I need. 8am Mon-Sat, 2pm Sun.
