the Activiti boundarytimer didn't work when added two or more

[karedom]

Hi,

 i have encounted a problem.Can some friends help me?

i have tried that the  process can   move into next userTask automically when overtime if  a  userTask is added a boundarytimer .but if i added  a boundarytimer to the second userTask,the timer on the second userTask didn't work  at all,and it didn't wait for a certain time by setted.i have checked  the activiti data base,and found that the second userTask was deleted  at the same time as soon as the first userTask  was deleted .

Why?

My purpose is to implement  moving into the next userTask automically when the current userTask is overtime in every userTask .

How to implement it in activiti?

ps: The diagram and parameters setted as below:

Please attach a bpmn xml instead of an image to check this out on our end. Another option is to provide a unit test..

Image in this case will not help us to understand/see the configuration in your bpmn diagram

Thanks for your reply！Here attach bpmn xml:

Your help was greatly appreciated!

And the activiti version is 5.14，data base is DB2

[cjose · Accepted solution]

Your xml looks perfectly valid and I just imported it to my engine running on 5.22 and it works just fine. As you can see below, all three tasks got completed using the boundary timer which got fired in 2 minutes (as per your config)

Wondering if the issue is one of the bugs fixed in one of the newer versions..Any particular reason why you still running on 5.14? May be it is time to plan an upgrade either to one of the newer versions of 5.X or even to 6.X!
