TImer (delay 3 days)

[gslamy]

Hello everybody.

I want to add timer between startEvent and UserTask, i. e. timer before receiving task. How does it do?

[startEvent]-><strong>[delay 3 days]</strong>->[userTask]->[endEvent]

  <process id="helloWorldUI2" name="Hello World UI 2" isExecutable="true">

    <startEvent id="start" activiti:formKey="wf:submitAdhocTask"></startEvent>

    <sequenceFlow id="flow1" sourceRef="start" targetRef="adhocTask"></sequenceFlow>

    <userTask id="adhocTask" name="Adhoc Task" activiti:assignee="${bpm_assignee.properties.userName}" activiti:formKey="wf:adhocTask">
      <extensionElements>
        <activiti:taskListener event="create" class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.activiti.tasklistener.ScriptTaskListener">
          <activiti:field name="script">
            <activiti:string><![CDATA[if (typeof bpm_workflowDueDate != 'undefined') task.setVariableLocal('bpm_dueDate', bpm_workflowDueDate);
                      if (typeof bpm_workflowPriority != 'undefined') task.priority = bpm_workflowPriority;]]></activiti:string>
          </activiti:field>
        </activiti:taskListener>
      </extensionElements>
    </userTask>

    <sequenceFlow id="flow2" sourceRef="adhocTask" targetRef="verifyTaskDone"></sequenceFlow>
    <userTask id="verifyTaskDone" name="Verify Adhoc Task Completed." activiti:assignee="${initiator.properties.userName}" activiti:formKey="wf:completedAdhocTask">
      <documentation>Verify the arbitrary task was completed.</documentation>
      <extensionElements>
        <activiti:taskListener event="create" class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.activiti.tasklistener.ScriptTaskListener">
          <activiti:field name="script">
            <activiti:string><![CDATA[if (typeof bpm_workflowDueDate != 'undefined') task.setVariableLocal('bpm_dueDate', bpm_workflowDueDate);
                        if (typeof bpm_workflowPriority != 'undefined') task.priority = bpm_workflowPriority;
                        
                        if (wf_notifyMe)
                     {
                        var mail = actions.create("mail");
                        mail.parameters.to = initiator.properties.email;
                        mail.parameters.subject = "Adhoc Task " + bpm_workflowDescription;
                        mail.parameters.from = bpm_assignee.properties.email;
                        mail.parameters.text = "It's done";
                        mail.execute(bpm_package);
                     }]]></activiti:string>
          </activiti:field>
        </activiti:taskListener>
      </extensionElements>
    </userTask>
    <sequenceFlow id="flow3" sourceRef="verifyTaskDone" targetRef="theEnd"></sequenceFlow>
    <endEvent id="theEnd"></endEvent>
  </process>

Add :

<intermediateCatchEvent id="timer">
  <timerEventDefinition>
    <timeDuration>P3D</timeDuration>
  </timerEventDefinition>
</intermediateCatchEvent>
<sequenceFlow id="flow5" sourceRef="timer" targetRef="adhocTask"></sequenceFlow>
<sequenceFlow id="flow4" sourceRef="start" targetRef="timer"></sequenceFlow>

And change the Id of The flows with your own

GetModelsDiff is very Generic error, you have to provide all the log in order to detect the error because your definition seems OK.

Sorry. Workflow works. But i can't set delay, the task is delivered immediately. What do I do wrong?
