Start timer configuration

Flowable Application

Hi,

I’ve configured an intermediate timer setting the time duration to PT30S and I had no problems. However, this configuration does not work in a start timer.

Anyone knows if it’s possible to set a start timer that automatically starts the process every X time? Or it’s necessary to start it manually?

Thanks

Hi,

PT30S works for a timer start event, but it will start the process instance only once.
In the documentation you can find how to define a time cycle value:

http://www.flowable.org/docs/userguide/index.html#timerEventDefinitions

Something like this will start the process instance every 5min starting at the full hour:

0 0/5 * * * ?

Best regards,

Tijs

I found this website to generate the expressions, I share it in case anyone else needs it.
