OnAlarm

The OnAlarm activity is used in either a Pick or event handler to handle timeouts while waiting for messages to arrive. This activity can be configured to wait for a certain period of time or until a specific date and time.

The Details tab allows you to specify the Partner Link, Operation and Message Type expected by the activity, and the process variable that will contain the received message data.

Repeat conditions are only allowed for an OnAlarm in an event handler. This allows the activities enclosed in the activity to be executed repeatedly. Repeat duration is the amount of time the process will wait before each repetition. The Repeat screen follows:
