  • 1.  JOIN not to timeout

    Posted 06/13/07 02:39 PM

    We have the following requirement:

    Step B waits for transition from Step A and subscritpion to document A (AND Join). If the document A does not arrive within a certain time, we would like the ability to have Step B start and continue the process (and not timeout)

    Is there a way of accomplishing this (may be through XML/Xpath expressions in Complex Join)?

    I have found a workaround to this (though I dont like it)

    Step A + Document A transition to Step B (AND Join)
    Step B timeout transitions to Step C

    Step B calls a flow service FS to perform some tasks
    Step C calls the same flow service FS

    Step B and C both have an OR join to the next step in the model.

    If Doc A arrives on time, Step B will execute (normal case) and proceed with other steps
    If Doc A doesnt arrive on time, Step C will execute (timeout case) and proceed with the other steps
