Summary:

The “WaitTime” process use case illustrates how to use Timer Intermediate Event in the process. In this process user give string value as input and then wait for the specified period of time for output say 20 sec. After span of the given time period in this process after 20 sec “Wait Time” process executes and displays the desired output.

Use case dependencies:

message.xsd: The schema used is "time" which is of "string" type

Requirements:

1.Intalio BPMS Designer 5.2
2.Intalio BPMS Server 5.2

Preconditions:

1.Make sure Intalio|BPMS Server is up and running fine.
2.Make sure the Process Explorer pane does not contain any Intalio|BPMS Business Process Project with same name.

Process Download:

4.Select the 'select archive file:' radio button and provide the location to the WaitTime.zip file you have just downloaded.
5.Click Finish.

Steps to remake process:

1.Right click on the project and go to "New Business Process Diagram" and click on it.
2.Give the diagram name as "WaitTime" and click on finish.

9.Focus on receive task and drag the outgoing sequence flow icon to "Connect to a new Timer Intermediate Event", name this new event as "Timer".
10.Focus on Timer event and drag the outgoing sequence flow icon to "Connect to a new Task ", name this new task as "reply".
11.Focus on “reply” task and drag the outgoing message icon from boundary and connect to “send” task in “Client” pool.
12.Import schema files from zip file into the project ((or) You can also create your own schema from File > New > Other > XML > XML Schema.
13.Drag and drop message.xsd > tns:start schema node on to incoming messag eflow from “send” task to “receive” task.
14.A message “Set schema element 'start' as the content of the message” will prompt you, click on it.

6.Click on "reply" task in Modeler.
7.Connect “$thisReceiveRequestMsg.body” on the left side of the mapper with “thisReceiveResponseMsg.body$” on the right side of the mapper.
8.Save the process.

Now your process is fully implemented which is ready to deploy and execute within Intalio|BPMS Server.

Process Deployment & Execution:

1.Click on Deploy Project to Intalio|BPMS Server button in tool bar.
2.Make sure you select all runtime files while exporting to Intalio|BPMS Server.
3.Click on Finish button.
4.Open a browser window and provide the url as: http://localhost:8080/bpms-console.
5.Login with following credentials:
username: 'admin' (without quotes).

9.You should see “WaitTime:WaitTime” process with a package name “WaitTime”, check the box under project and click to start.
10.This should generate a form with an input text field:

6.The output will be displayed as:
receiveResponse: Hello Intalio
Note: Result will be displayed after a span of 20 sec.
