Description

The SignalProcessInstanceInWaitStateAndSetProcessVariable timer searches for all running instances of a process definition (= first parameter) and in these all active activities that correspond to an identifier (= second parameter). The start date of each activity is compared to a date or a period (= third parameter). In this case, the date or duration in a variable can be set for each instance.
