wait up to 48 hrs

Tue Aug 14 07:34:32 EDT 2007

Hi Stanley,

I don't think it is a good idea using a wait step that long. 

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).
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. 
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...

kind regards,
Veit
