Provider
Asynchronous
No Custom Parameters
AddNonTriggerTimer will set a timer which will attempt to route to the same script which initated the timer.
AddNonTriggerTimer is used to cause an event to fire within the same script which initiated the AddNonTriggerTimer action.
You can cancel an outstanding timer with the RemoveTimer action. Note that due to the queuing mechanism of the Application Runtime Environment, a timer set with the AddNonTriggerTimer could have already fired and the timer event is still queued for processing, even though you have used the RemoveTimer action. While this scenario is extremely unlikely, it is still possible and the logic of your application should account for it (for instance, you could set a boolean global variable indicating that the timer has been removed when you use the RemoveTimer event, and check the value of that boolean variable in the TimerFire event.
AddTriggerTimer and AddNonTriggerTimer offer the same feature from the perspective that both provide a means to set a timer. The difference is that one action creates a triggering timer, and the other creates a non-triggering timer. Because script instances are a licensable resource and should be managed closely, it may make more sense to end the application that set the timer, and so a triggering timer is required. Ultimately it is up to the developer of the script to determine which is the best fit.
The Timer Provider stores timers only in memory. If the provider is disabled, or if the Cisco Unified Application Server service is restarted, all outstanding timers will be lost.
If the timer results in a no handler, then the Timer Provider will remove the timer automatically.
| Parameter Name | .NET Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Timeout | System.Int32 | The Timeout property specifies to the Application Runtime Environment how long
to wait for a response from the provider for the current action.
The ReturnValue returned in this case is Timeout. The value must be a literal value in milliseconds. | |
| TimerDateTime * | System.DateTime | The initial time to fire the TimerFire event. This value must be in a .NET Framework System.DateTime parseable string or a .NET System.DateTime object. As an example of specifying the DateTime object, one can set a timer that will fire 5 seconds from the moment the AddTriggerTimer action is used by using the following C# snippet: System.DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(5). | |
| TimerRecurrenceInterval | System.TimeSpan | If specified, this timer will reoccur indefinitely until the timer is removed via RemoveTimer. This action parameter sets the value of the period of the timer that will be applied to this timer after the first occurrence of the timer occurs. This value must be in a .NET System.TimeSpan parseable string. As an example of specifying a TimeSpan of 5 minutes, the following C# snippet could be used: System.TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5). If this parameter is not specified, then the timer will only be fired once. | |
| TimerUserData | System.String | An opaque token used to allow distinguishable timer events to be raised. The value specified here will be sent back in the TimerFire event as an event parameter. For the non-triggering timer, this value can be used to associate data with the timer since the function handling the TimerFire event will be able to pull the value back out into a variable using InitializeWith. |
| Parameter Name | .NET Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| TimerId | System.String | The ID of the timer, which is generated by the Timer Provider. This value can be used later to cancel the timer with the RemoveTimer action. |
