This topic describes how to use TimeoutControl and TimeoutNotification nodes to send a message into a message flow after a timed interval.
Use TimeoutControl and TimeoutNotification nodes to send a message into a message flow 60 seconds after the message is received.
The diagram shows the path of a message that contains a timeout request through a TimeoutControl node. A TimeoutNotification node with an identifier matching the TimeoutControl node then processes the timeout request. The diagram also shows the message that the TimeoutNotification node produces after processing the timeout request.
The TimeoutControl node validates the timeout request; default values are assumed for properties that are not explicitly defined. The original message is then sent on to the next node in the message flow. If the request is valid, the TimeoutNotification node with the same Unique identifier as the TimeoutControl node propagates a copy of the message to the message flow 60 seconds after the message was received.
