Timer event in call activity's subprocess

[kethur]

Hi,

I have a call activity with sub-process.  In the sub-process I need to execute a script task when a date time is met.  This script task is separate to each process instance.

What type of timer should i use to achieve the above functionality?  Should i use boundary timer event or timer catching event or something else?  I am also not sure how the transaction context is created when eventually timer fires up the script task.  Could someone clarify me please?

Thanks,
Raj

Hi Raj,
I think you could use an intermediate timer event.
