Hi Nimesh,

You should be able to fire timer event without ending the current activity. Have a look at the user guide to understand the timer event definition Activiti User Guide 

Here is an example of the process with timer event to trigger escalation task when the current activity exceeds expected time to complete.

I successfully ran this process and observed that the timer was triggered as expected. The 'sending notification email' task was executed three times, after each 10-second interval. The current activity 'usertask1' remains active when the timer was triggered.

Here is a snippet of my unit test log.

Hope this answers your question.

Thanks,

Thong Huynh
