Timers duration

[bartlomiej....@horus.com.pl]

Hi,
I've got a workflow (I think it's common case):

1. Send request to external service - preparing data for process
2. Wait few seconds
3. Download data

For my workflow it's crucial to make 2. fast. Preparing data lasts about 10-15 seconds. Is it possible to make a RMP timer with duration in seconds?

Hi,

You can try something like this in 1 of input or output variable scripts:

===

<@script env="javascript">

var start = Date.now() ;

var right_t = start;

while((right_t-start) < ([[throttle_period]][0][0])) {

     right_t = Date.now();

}

print(right_t-start);

</@script>

===

Please define variable "throttle_period" which is the sleep time in milliseconds.

And very IMPORTANT, use only minimum time for sleep - you process will fail. 

Our platform doesn't allow very scripts, that take long time to execute, to be written in input/output variables.

Best regards,

Taka
