ResumeTimer system function

Use the ResumeTimer system function to reactivate a timer that was suspended via the SuspendTimer system function. If the timer expired during the suspension, the system software calls the specified timer expiration map upon reactivating the timer. For additional information see About setting a time limit for processing.

To specify properties for the ResumeTimer system function

  1. Place a system step on the workflow map where you want to reactivate a suspended timer.
  2. In the Properties pane under Available Functions, select ResumeTimer, then click the right arrow to move it to the Selected Functions column.
  3. Double-click ResumeTimer in the Selected Functions column to specify the timer to reactivate.
  4. Enter the name of the suspended timer that you want to reactivate. Enter the exact name of the timer in double quotes, or enter an expression that exactly matches the name (case-sensitive) in the timer. The ResumeTimer system function has no effect if you enter the name of a non-existent timer.
