<br>
<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>I
don't think it is a good idea using a wait step that long. </span></font><br>
<br>
<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family: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).</span></font>
<br>
<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family: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. </span></font><br>
<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family: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...</span></font> <br>
