Delay Service (Magic xpi 3.x)
The Delay service 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 service to a flow:
-
Find the services icons in the Components pane at the left of the screen. You can display only the services by selecting Services from the drop-down list at the top of the Components pane.
-
Drag the Delay service to your flow.
-
In the Delay Configuration dialog box, enter the information as described in the table below:
|
|
|
|
Name
|
Type a name that describes the service in the flow.
|
|
Description
|
Type a description of the service in your flow (optional).
|
|
Processing mode
|
Select whether the step should be executed linear, parallel or stand-alone. This is only available if the Delay service is not the first step in the flow.
|
|
Wait for completion
|
Select whether the step should be run in Wait for Completion mode. The options are Yes or No.
|
Note:
|
Wait for completion is only available when the Delay service is a Linear step and if it is not the first step in the flow.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
Magic xpi Server
|
Select the Magic xpi Server where the Delay service is executed.
Click  to the right of the Magic xpi Server field to open the Server List. Select a server from the list and then click Select.

|
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).
|
|
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.
