Sleep
Question
Hi!

Is there a way to do a sleep? The aim is to stall the preparation of a screen for some seconds.
Cheers,
Mário

Hi Mario,

Here's an extension with a very simple sleep function: 
public void MssSleep(  int ssmillisecondsTimeout) {

      System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(ssmillisecondsTimeout);

}
Cheers,
Tiago

How can I prevent the sleep from always appearing in the general log as SLOWEXTENSION?

2016-04-01 11:08:27 15 Utils.Sleep took 1016 ms SLOWEXTENSION

We are waiting and polling for execution in an external application so the logs are filling with these messages.

Br,
Toni

Hi Toni,

First, you replied to a 9 year old message. That's not generally considered good form!

That said, there's a setting on the "Operations" tab in Service Center that you can uncheck to hide messages from the extension, but I'm not sure whether it also hides the SLOWEXTENSION warnings. It may be that unchecking the checbox at the consuming eSpace will work.

If that checkbox doesn't work, a solution could be to sleep a short while multiple times. So call the Sleep 10 times with 100ms. That'll keep it under the radar of the Platform, but will amount to the same.
