Specifying Business Calendar Timeout Values

After you specify the business calendar you want to use, you can specify a time value as follows:

For process timeouts, click the drop-down list in the Days, Hours, and Minutes fields and select a value.

For join timeouts and timer event timer conditions, click the Browse button next to the field you are working with. This enables you to specify the name of a data field present in the pipeline from an upstream document to dynamically define the value at run time, or to select a fixed value from a list.

The following guidelines apply to the available fields:

Days. Specify the number of days from the starting point of the timeout timer. Only business days as defined by the selected business calendar are counted.

Hours. Specify the number of hours to add or subtract from the Days value. A positive value will extend into the next business day, a negative value represents hours before the end of the business day.

Mins. Specify the number of minutes to add or subtract from the Hours value.

Note:
Business calendar timing is not precise; the approximate accuracy is about 1 minute. For example, the actual timeout may be triggered up to one minute later than the specified time.
