Description

Mandatory

interval

The amount of time the system waits before checking for completed child processes. Support Date & Time, and Timespan.

Example:

Direct value (Date & Time): 2008-05-01T07:34:42-5:00

Direct value (Timespan): 5.08:08:08 (means 5 days, 8 hours, 8 minutes, and 8 seconds)

Value from form field: [/my:myFields/my:field2]

Value from solution field: [field1]

Yes

childprocessname

The name of the child process for which the system waits. There can be multiple child processes for a single parent process. If this parameter is specified, the system waits for the specified child process to complete and the remaining child processes are disregarded.

No

Allow time for the Child Processes to launch

If the Wait for Child Process plug-in immediately (or closely) follows the Form Process Launch plug-in which is its parent, add a Wait node between the two plug-ins. This will ensure the complete processing of the child form (without the Wait node, the Wait for Child Process may complete prematurely).

Example

interval– 0.00:01:00

This interval will direct the system to check if child processes are complete once per minute.
