Class COOWF@1.1:WaitActionDefinition

Class Hierarchy

Object > ComponentObject > ConfigurationObject > SimpleConfigurationObject > DefinitionElement > WaitActionDefinition

This object class is used to define an activity in a process definition that represents a wait action instead of a list of work items. This action can be a Action or an ActiveX script. It can be used to delay the workflow process e.g. until a certain state in an external resource is reached. Wait actions are always executed in the background, therefore this functionality requires the installation of AT.
E.g. you can use a wait action definition for asynchronous calls of an external application server. The first execution of the action starts as asynchronous query in the application server, the further calls wait for the query result. The wait action is called until the result of the application server is finished. The amount of time after which the execution of the action is repeated can be specified.
You can also use a wait action definition to execute activities that wait for the availability of certain external application server resources. A customer should be registered in a billing system. The workflow continues only when the registration in the billing system has been done. The wait action instance is just called again, if the registration failed (e.g. because the system is not available).
