The timer task
The timer task is used to add a time gap between the executions of two tasks. In other words, you can specify the time in the timer task to wait before the process triggers the next task in the workflow. Also, another option in the timer task allows you to start the next task after a particular time gap in the workflow.
The timer task has two types of settings:
- Absolute Time: This option enables you to specify the time when you want the next task to start in the workflow.
- Relative Time: This option enables you start the next task by comparing the start time of the timer task. If you mention Relative time as 10 minutes, Informatica PowerCenter will wait for 10 minutes at the timer task before it triggers the next task in the workflow. ...
