An example of the XML of a timer start event is:
<bpmn2:startEvent id="StartEvent3"> <bpmn2:outgoing>SequenceFlow_1</bpmn2:outgoing> <timerEventDefinition> <timeCycle xsi:type="bpmn2:tFormalExpression">R10/2020-12-10T13:00/PT12H</timeCycle> </timerEventDefinition> </bpmn2:startEvent>
Note: This will start the process 10 times, at 12 hour intervals
starting on 10 December 2020.
An example of the XML for timeDate is:
<bpmn2:timerEventDefinition> <bpmn2:timeDate xsi:type="bpmn2:tFormalExpression">2017-05-17T12:42:23Z</bpmn2:timeDate> </bpmn2:timerEventDefinition>
An example of the XML for timeDuration is:
<bpmn2:timerEventDefinition> <bpmn2:timeDuration xsi:type="bpmn2:tFormalExpression">P5D</bpmn2:timeDuration> </bpmn2:timerEventDefinition>
Note: This represents a duration of 5 days.
An example of the XML for timeCycle using time interval syntax is:
<bpmn2:timerEventDefinition> <bpmn2:timeCycle xsi:type="bpmn2:tFormalExpression">R3/PT30M</bpmn2:timeCycle> </bpmn2:timerEventDefinition>
Note: This represents three repetitions every 30 minutes.
An example of the XML for timeCycle using a cron expression is:
<bpmn2:timerEventDefinition> <bpmn2:timeCycle>0 0/5 * * * ?</bpmn2:timeCycle> </bpmn2:timerEventDefinition>
Note: This represents a trigger firing every 5 minutes beginning at
the top of the hour.
