Hi, Our process definitions are based on nodes and actions inside them (being executed in async mode). We are using jBPM for controlling batch processes, therefore I thought the best option was using nodetype "node". One of the requirements is notifying if one of the actions is "running late", if it's overdue (for example if it has been running for 30 minutes and still hasn't finished) I have been trying to associate a timer to an action or a node for trying to obtain this behaviour, but the only thing I have been able to do is to "schedule" the execution of the action, although not being able to supervise its duration. Is there an easy way to obtain this functionality from jBPM or should I code that functionality inside my actions ? Thanks a lot in advance. Regards. Jose.
