Delay Utility (Magic xpi 4.9)

The Delay utility allows you to define a delay time for a step during flow execution. You can enter a one-time delay in tenths of seconds or you can create conditions so the flow is delayed for specific instances.

To add the Delay utility to a flow:

  1. Drag the Delay utility from the Toolbox pane to your flow.

  2. In the Properties pane, enter the information as described in the table below:

Parameter

Description

General

Step Name

Type a name that describes the utility in the flow.

Description

Type a description of the utility in your flow (optional).

Step ID

A read-only field displaying the ID of the step in the flow.

Component ID

An internal identifier number generated automatically.

Component Type

A read-only field displaying the name of the step type.

Condition

Enter a condition to specify the flow's execution behavior. You can either click to open the Expression Editor, or you can right-click on the component and select Condition from the context menu.

Processing mode

Select whether the step should be executed linear, parallel or stand-alone.

This is available only if the Delay utility is not the first step in a flow.

Wait for completion

Select whether the step should be run in Wait for Completion mode. The options are Yes or No.

This is available only when the Delay utility is a Linear step and if it is not the first step in the flow.

Advanced

Save point

Select Yes to indicate that the step is a Save Point in your flow.

This is available only if the flow's Recovery Policy is set to Save Point.

Call logic flow

You can use this option if you want to call generic logic after the execution of a specific step. Once this step has been executed, the flow logic that you defined in the flow properties is called before the Server continues to the following steps.

The options are Yes or No (default).

  1. Double-click or right-click on the Delay utility and select Configuration from the context menu to open the Delay Configuration dialog box. This dialog box has the following fields:

Parameter

Description

Delay in tenths of seconds

The amount of time to delay the flow. You can enter a time or click to the right of the field to open the Expression Editor and create a delay time with conditions.

  1. Click OK to close the Delay Configuration dialog box. The Delay utility is displayed in the flow.
