Hi, I would like to ask if the Intermediate Timer Event in 3.1 community works? Or do I need an Enterprise Edition?

Next is, is it possible to have variable dependent in Wait For or Wait until specified date/time properties of the Intermediate Timer Event.

Thanks

Intermediate Timer Event work in version 3.1 community. Remember that you have to execute the timereventcron.php script at least twice in order for it to work. The first time it is executed, it will set the time when the timer should be executed in the case. The second time it should execute the timer if the time has been exceeded in the timer. If you have a discrepancy in the time zones between the clock on your server and your time_zone setting in php.ini, then you might have to wait a long time before it properly executes.

Next is, is it possible to have variable dependent in Wait For or Wait until specified date/time properties of the Intermediate Timer Event.

You can create a looparound that periodically executes an Intermediate Timer Event and an exclusive gateway which has conditions to check whether the datetime in a variable has passed or not. If the datetime has been passed, then it continues the rest of the process. Otherwise, it keeps looping.
The process would look something like this:

And the routing rules in the exclusive gateway would be something like this:

pauseTillDateRoutingRules.png (31.18 KiB) Viewed 2438 times

The variable @@pauseTillDate could be set by a datetime field in a Dynaform or by a trigger in "Task 2". Alternatively, you add a script task to the process that is periodically executed by the looparound that sets the @@pauseTillDate variable. If setting this in a trigger, the format of the @@pauseTillDate variable needs to be in "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" format, like "2012-04-24 23:59:59", which is the format of datetime fields.

Thanks amos. The workaround on the my second question also worked. Thanks a lot.
