The Interval Plug-in controls the interval between running steps. The user specifies the wait time for a process as the execution interval, and Ops Center Automator waits for the interval to elapse before running the succeeding steps. By using an interval plug-in, you can run steps at fixed intervals.

The following figure shows how the Interval Plug-in is used.


Using Interval Plug-in.

Cautionary notes

  • The communication status and other factors might cause a discrepancy between the actual wait time and the time specified by the plug-in.
  • You cannot change the property values when you run the service. Set the values when you create the flow.
  • You can only specify literal characters in the input property. You cannot map the value of a service property or reserved property.
  • If execution of a task is stopped during plug-in execution, the task enters Failed or Completed status after the interval plug-in has finished processing.
