<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi Stanley,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I don't think it is a good idea using
a wait step that long. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Simply make your method an empty one
and go to your workflow definition instead and use the "requested
start" tab of the step. (Of course, you could do it as well directly
on the follow on step and drop your wait step).</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">This way the workflow won't block resources,
it will just be suspended and a standard background job for deadline monitoring
will take care of resuming it. </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Due to the monitoring job that approach
is not that accurate, so you might result in a wait time a couple of minutes
longer than 48h. But that probably won't do much harm...</font>
<br>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">kind regards,</font>
