minds :-)

Joe,
If using SQL Server you could issue a Direct SQL of
waitfor delay "00:00:01"
this would call the DB and would return after SS seconds or HH:MM:SS if you
wanted more than SS seconds....but I agree with everyone else...setting hard
'pauses' in place is not ideal, but sometimes necessary.

Subject: PAUSE or SLEEP a filters in between actions...
**
We are updating an identity management system (OIM) using its SPML based
WSDL.
During the operations to suspend or resume a user the output status of this
operation seems to always be ‘pending’ – which in reality is really an
intermediate status before ‘success’ or ‘failure’. The lifespan of this
intermediate status is just a brief fraction of a second before the update
either succeeds or fails..
From the service consumption point of view, this intermediate status of
‘pending’ is not quite meaningful other than the the fact that the WSDL call
was successful. Given a choice I would have rather had the option to wait
for those few micro seconds, at what point the status of either ‘success’..
They have a operation in the same web service to query the status. Following
the update WSDL with a query WSDL is what I thought would be my answer to
getting the new status (although I do not like the option of have another
WSDL call when there could have been one)... This query however returns the
status of the the user pre update. Filters as we know have no ‘SLEEP’ type
action, else I could have used that to pause the filter operations in
between the update and query operation.
Ideally it would have been perfect if there was an ability to introduce a
pause between the two WSDL calls.
Is there any ‘creative’ way of inserting a pause in a filter operation that
maybe I do not know of?
Joe
