Re: Deadline Activity

Hello Aaron,

Set the deadline to Synchronous and enter as condition something like:
  var d = new java.util.Date(start_date.getTime() + WAIT_TIME_OUT);
  d;
where start_date is of type Date and WAIT_TIME_OUT is in milliseconds. WAIT_TIME_OUT can be a process- or package-level WRD with initial value (some kind of constant), or just a numeric value - it is your choice.

Fill in the Exception name with some meaningfull string, for example
  TimeToContinueException

Then set two outgoing transitions:
 - By exception ("TimeToContinueException");
 - By condition - the normal activity completion.

If you need exactly the process start date, you can use the Shark supplied value PROCESS_STARTED_TIME instead your own variable start_date.

For more details see the "how_to" document, point "How to write deadline expressions for activities?"

Regards,
Monique
