Event

The Event tab has the following fields.

Field

Description

Candidate Event Key

This field cannot be used. Specifying a value in this field does not cause the value to be compared with the key field in the activity input.

Event Timeout (msec)

A message may arrive before this activity is executed. This field specifies the amount of time (in milliseconds) a message waits if it is received before this activity is executed. If the event timeout expires, an error is logged and the event is discarded.

If no value is specified in this field, the message waits indefinitely. If zero is specified, the event is discarded immediately, unless this activity has already been reached.
