Description
The User wants to define that some nodes of a workflow will be executed at specific time (in the future). User wants to define this time in advance or as a parameter to a process or in the previous steps (for example in a manual step). This is not related to the "DueDate" job, because we only want to delay the execution to a later point in time.
This could be implemented
- with a new wait node type that waits for an external time and moves to the node that should be executed or
- using a "timer" event (as defined for XPDL/BPEL) that gets send to a node with (delayed" Actions). This would require a new status for a node in a process (WAITING_FOR_EXECUTION).
(Example: delayed transfer of catalogs into OPC/indexer)
