Timers in worklfows

[devylon]

Hi there,

jbpm has the feature to define timers in nodes, e.g.:

<task-node name="myTaskNode">
    <timer duedate="1 week" transition="nextStep" />
    <task name="myTask" />
    <transition name="nextStep" to="somewhere" />
</task-node>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But it seems that the jbpm scheduler thread is not running, is this correct ?

There is an open issue:
http://issues.alfresco.com/browse/AR-848

We haven't enabled timers yet, as we haven't fully tested all the jBPM supporting threads in an Alfresco environment.

However, there's nothing stopping you from enabling & testing them in your own environment.  If you do, any info on how well it works would be appreciated.

How do I enable timers in jBPM ?

Thanks,

The easiest way is to wait for Alfresco 2.1 - it includes an upgrade to jBPM 3.2 and enables timers (which have been refactored in jBPM 3.2).

Otherwise, refer to the jBoss documentation.
