Specifying a time period in Query Designer
In Query Designer, you can specify a length of time:
![*](chapterTOC_bullet.png)
To wait before or after an event pattern occurs. This is in the
Wait operator in an event pattern.
![*](chapterTOC_bullet.png)
In which all events in the pattern or some events in the pattern must be received. This is in a query time constraint condition.
When you specify a time period, it must be one of the following:
![*](chapterTOC_bullet.png)
A time literal, which is an
integer or
float value, followed by a space, followed by one of the following:
day
days
hour
hours
min
minute
minutes
sec
second
seconds
msec
millisecond
milliseconds![*](chapterTOC_bullet.png)
Insert a space between consecutive time literals. For example, you could enter
5 min 10.0 sec.
![*](chapterTOC_bullet.png)
A
float literal, which can be a
float value or an expression that resolves to a
float value. An expression can use constants and parameters. A
float literal always indicates a number of seconds.
For example, the following specifications are valid:
10 sec
3.5 hours
5 days
90 min 30.0 sec
60.0
