I have a question on Timers. We have automated timers that trigger every 30 mins

I have a question on Timers. We have automated timers that trigger every 30 mins. During server maintenance, we shut down engine servers. When these servers are back up, the automated timers trigger multiple times. Say for E.g. if servers were down for 2 hrs, does the timer trigger 4 times when they back up? Is that how its designed to work?...

Hello Prasadh,
Indeed, the situation from your example is the expected behavior as-designed. The product accommodates business use cases where the designer seeks for the timer to run on consistent schedule, regardless of whether the engines are shut down.

Thank you Matt.
- Now we added a boolean flag to timer trigger event. If it's true it will trigger whereas if it false it won't. During server maintenance, if we toogle this switch hopefully it wont trigger the timers once we turn on this flag once maintenance complete.
- Is there a way we swtich off logging the process history during execution? I believe this occupies lot of space and what are the implications if we switch off the option if one available?

-\tCan you clarify, “logging the process history?” If you are referring to the “All Processes” report in the “Processes” tab of designer mode, this is a default system report that does not display process selectively.
-\tCan you please clarify, “execution?”

Thanks Matt.
I am talking about the "process history" tab in the "Process dashboard". Is there a way to control that?

Hello Prasadh,
Unfortunately, I do not think there is a way to control the "Process History" tab within the process dashboard.
