Custom WAIT function (possible)

Post by hpl123 »

Hi all,
This is a tip on how to create a custom solution which acts as a WAIT function. The idea is that the custom WAIT function can be used like a timer between actions of a process or rule. This custom function is not tested yet but I believe it will work. Here is short background and how to:

Seems to work

Update.
After initial testing this seems to work just fine. When an action (part of e.g. process) executes the AutoIt exe script, your application displays an "Saving data" progress indicator/message which is displayed for the time set in the AutoIt script. After the time set, the process continue processing the next action etc..

I have only done a quick test to see if it can work and it does but if anyone test/use this more extensively please share the results.

Problems?

Post by hpl123 »

Support,
Could you comment on if this solution will work with EXECUTE PROGRAM when multiple users run the script a the same time? The solution works for a single user and even for 2 users at the same time but what if many more users execute the script, will it still work? How does EXECUTE PROGRAM execute and how does the action keep tabs on which script is executed (process id?)?

Thanks
