Inserting a pause into a process

George LeBlanc

Question

I have integrated OS with 4 web services, and am sending 2000 record to each of these web services. The web service provider is somewhat unreliable, and starts to choke if i send requests too fast. Is there a way for me to insert a pause of a few milliseconds into my process so that i wait a while between calls to the web service?

The process i am using gets the 2000 records and serially sends them to the four services.

I would rather not use a tight/busy loop for this, is there some kind of "pause" or "wait" action?
Attached is a screenshot of the process.

I would like to put waits in before each of getVariables2, getRModelResults, getSASresults and getSPSSModelResults to increase the intervals between these calls.

Hi

Searching on the forum by "Sleep" found this topic: https://www.outsystems.com/forums/discussion/3055/sleep/
Try that extension Tiago uploaded.
I recommend turning off the logging for that extension in Service Center after you upload it. Otherwise it will log a "Slow extension" log every time you call it. Because being slow it's whats suposed to do.
