initiated_time

asked on March 28, 2017

I want to create an outflow condition that terminates a workflow if a deadline for submission is not met. As I can't build that in the wysiwyg outflow builder,  I need to know how to format the date and time for this so that I can create the value to compare against. I've found documentation on the date format, but not the time.

Maybe there's a better way to do this, but this is what I'm trying to create:

 

/dataset/_initiated_time/ <= 2017-08-15 ??

Hi Zane, the format for date/time field variable is different from the initiated_time, for date/time field variable as you referred in the screenshot, the conditional expression is "/dataset/Date>"2017-08-04 09:45:00". An easier way to know what the expected value in the conditional expression is to add a "save to repository" service task and check "save business process data as XML" and check the format of the values in the XML saved.

The format likes this "2016-12-23T08:48:53.0170215Z"

I have just now started testing this, but it's not working. 

Here is my outflow condition language in my exclusive gateway:

/dataset/Date>"2017-8-4T09:45:00.000Z"

Which should divert the the process to terminate, otherwise the process should continue.

Attached is an image of the field "Date" as it is set in the form.

Thanks, for the answer and the tip on writing the XML for field formatting info. I'm sure I'll use that in the future. Your date formatting worked great.
