Problem with formula on Timer

[nilto...@safetec.com.br]

Hi,

I'm trying to set a timer to trigger a task after an specific period of time but the trigger returns an "Formula {timerPosterior} does not evaluate to a proper delay (number of minutes expected)".

To set the period i use a freemarker code inside a variable, like the one below:

<#assign agora = get_time("09/07/2014 08:00:00", "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss")?long>
<#assign depois = get_time("25/07/2014 08:00:00", "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss")?long>
<#assign formula = (depois - agora)>
<#assign tmp = formula / 60>
${tmp}

What might be the problem? I already tried a dozen of workarounds but nothing seems to work.

Regards.

Hi,

In order to use your variables as numbers, you need to use the suffix ?number

so it will be  yourvariable?number instead of yourvariable

Hi,

In your freemarker, please put the following code:

   <#assign agora = get_time("09/07/2014 08:00:00", "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss")?long>
<#assign depois = get_time("25/07/2014 08:00:00", "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss")?long>
<#assign formula = (depois - agora)>
<#assign tmp = formula / 60>

${tmp?number}

In the formula of Timer, please put the following:

${formulaPosterior}

Note: formulaPosterior must be the variable computed with the previous freemarker code.

Regards,

Richard.

Hi Nilton,

Make sure that the variable you are using in "Formula" inside timer,like in your case as per the screenshot it is "formulaPosterior",use the same variable for storing the below code:

"<#assign agora = get_time("09/07/2014 08:00:00", "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss")?long> 

<#assign depois = get_time("25/07/2014 08:00:00", "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss")?long> 
<#assign formula = (depois - agora)> 
<#assign tmp = formula / 60> 
${tmp} "

•  Don't use the same variable"formulaPosterior" to store any other value
•  "formulaPosterior?number" doesnot accept decimal value.
  

I have attached screenshots below.Hope it helps.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Bidisha,

I changed the name of the variable and now - for some strange reason - it's working perfectly.

Thank you all of you guys.

Regards.
