delay

The delay task pauses a job for a specified number of seconds. Some jobs require a delay to allow for network convergence, database commits, or other external system processing.

Properties

IncomingDescription
time (required)The number of seconds to pause the job. The value can come from a job variable, a static value, or an earlier task’s outgoing variable. If the reference task is a job variable or earlier task, a dropdown of available variable names is shown. If the reference task is static, a text field accepts the number of seconds directly.
OutgoingDescription
time_in_millisecondsThe incoming time value converted to milliseconds. You can optionally create a job variable from this output — the immutable time_in_milliseconds variable remains, and a new mutable job variable is created alongside it. When creating a job variable, use a distinct name to avoid conflicts.
