* * * New or Improved for 2014.1 * * * Wait Workflow Block

Waits for a condition specified in the block to become true, or for a timer to expire. By default, exit ports for this block allow for separate workflow paths for these events.

Wait Workflow Block

The timeout behavior is as follows:

If value based timer (i.e. duration) is specified by values

days	==	null && hours == null && minutes == null,	then infinite timeout or never times out
days	==	-1 && hours == -1 && minutes == -1,	then infinite timeout or never times out
days	<=	0 && hours <= 0 && minutes <= 0,	then immediately times out and timeout exit is used
days	>	0 && hours > 0 && minutes > 0,	then combined value is set as the timeout and exit timeout is used when the time passes.

If field based timer

fieldvalue	==	null,	then infinite timeout or never times out
fieldvalue	<=	UtcNow,	then immediately times out and timeout exit used
fieldvalue	>	UtcNow,	then combined value is set as the timeout and exit timeout is used when the time passes

Exit Ports

Define additional exit ports under the Exits Configuration tab.

ok	Continue to the next block.
failed	General exit port for a failed integration action. A logical next step is to trigger a notification.
