OnAlarm Branch Dialog

2.92 OnAlarm Branch Dialog - General Tab

Use to create a branch that marks a time out event.

The OnAlarm branch of a pick activity marks a time out event. The For attributes specify the duration after which the event is signaled. The clock for the duration starts at the point in time at which the associated scope starts. The alternative Until attributes specify the specific point in time when the alarm is activated. Exactly one of these two attributes must occur in any OnAlarm event.

For more information about the OnAlarm branch, see the Business Process Execution Language for Web Services Specification (for BPEL 1.1) or the Web Services Business Process Execution Language Version 2.0 Specification at http://www.oasis-open.org.
