Expression Rule timer logic?

Question

Hi Everyone, 
 In expression rule i want to execute first line of code then wait for few seconds and then automatically execute rest of the code. How can i do this in expression rule, can anyone help me out.?

No way. Because, before an expression displays line1 and line2, its evaluating line1 and line2 first then its displaying in the output. Observation:I tried to keep system busy by generating nulls in which will take 25,734 ms after line1 and before line2. Its taking total time to evaluate (line1+null generation+line2) to present the output. This means the expression prepares everything before it presenting.

Hi, 
This is not feasible in Appian however if you want to have some delay between algorithms then you could implement it through a process model where a timer event would serve your purpose.

Hi Narmada, 
 
This is not possible in appian u can not put timer in expression rule because the whole expression logic is executed at once only. 
U need to handle this in process.

Hi Narmada, 
 
Appian does not provide feasibility to develop such logic using SAIL/expression rules, however you can try using timer event in process model. 
Thanks
