<div>The dummy method is simply an empty method that does nothing. You could add it to the main object you're working with or maybe create a special object to keep it separate. The method would have no parameters or exceptions. You can mark it as Instance Independant so you don't even need to pass it an object reference.

</font> <br><font size="3">If you want a deadline over the whole process resulting from the decision you need something different. You could use a 1 from 2 parallel branch and in the other branch include a dummy step with a Requested Start (delay deadline), so that if the whole decision branch isn't complete in time the dummy step will run, do nothing and then allow you react at that point, or shut down the parallel branches and do whatever.
