Waiting in a receive port
|

| Hi,
I have a requirement where i want the orchestration to wait at a receive
port for a certain period of time. If the message does not arrive at the
receive port within the given stipulated time, i want the orchestration to
call a component that will send out a mail to the corresponding people and
continue with the remaining steps in the orchestration. How can i acheive
this. Should i use the delay shape? if yes how can i use it to acheive this
functionality.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Suresh

| Hi Suresh,
You may be able to use the listen shape to acheive this, have the receive
shape in on one branch and a delay shape on the other. The orchestration will
wait until either the receive port receives a message or the delay shape
finishes. Whichever happens first the orchestration will continue down that
branch.
I haven't done this myself and I have heard about scope issues and access to
variables etc. but it may be worth a try.
Cheers,
Gary

| Hi,
The listen shape would work, but you need to build a sequential convoy
orchestration that will loop, and have the listen shape in the loop. The
orchestration needs to be runing all the time, and needs to be triggered by
an initial message to activate it.
There's quite a bit of documentation / blogs about building convoy
orchestrations.
Regards,
Alan
