In an Activiti process I have a simple user task with a boundary timer event defined with a time duration (e.g. 1h). Using the Activiti API, how can I restart/reset the timer? (The timer should trigger after the time duration from the time on it was restarted.) Here is my sample process definition: By resetting the timer, the time-out handling should be delayed.

If this doesnt satisfy your need, let me know and I will try to dig up the execution update code.

Do you mean managementService.setJobDuedate(jobId, newDueDate) to update the timer via code (copied from comments of linked question)? Firstly, I wonder how I could find out the job ID when I have the task (e.g. Sequential Task 2) at hand? And more important: This method doesn't exist in Activiti 6.0 in ManagementService . Would be cool if you could dig up your code.
Commented Jul 21, 2017 at 5:57 Did you find it again? :) Commented Jul 25, 2017 at 14:12Did you try getting the job like this: Job job = managementService.createJobQuery().processInstanceId(execution.getProcessInstanceId()).timers().singleResult(); managementService.setJobDuedate(job.getId(), newDueDate);
Commented Jul 25, 2017 at 16:19Ok, this is how I can get the job, great. However, the method setJobDuedate doesn't exist in ManagementService , see activiti.org/javadocs/6.latest. Do you know if there is an equivalent method for Activiti 6?
