Hi

I try to find a way to reschedule an intermediated timer event using the BPMN REST API. Is this possible at all?  
I understand that it is possible to use the Java API ManagementService. But I would like to keep using the REST API only.

/\*\*  
\* Reschedule a timer job with a time duration.  
\*  
\* @param jobId  
\* id of the timer job to reschedule, cannot be null.  
\* @param timeDuration  
\* How long the timer should run before it is fired in ISO 8601 format. For example, PT10D means the timer will run for 10 days before it fires.  
\*/  
Job rescheduleTimeDurationJob(String jobId, String timeDuration);

Thank you.

- Christian

Hi @amporsim  
Thanks for the answer.

I looked into the same endpoint but I don’t think it will do the job of rescheduling the job.
