Hi all,

I want to create an activity which sends an automatic reminder email after 2 weeks. This activtiy should be in a side process which gets started through an IPC envent from my original process. The reason for that is that I don't want to have the 2 weeks in the Duration Time of my origianl process cos this would falsify the reports.
Does someone have a good idea of how to achive that. I was first thinking about starting just a thread an let it sleep for the specified time, but I think thats not a good idea cos it wouldn't be good for the performance. So how can I know when 2 weeks are over to send my mail. Can I do something with the Esacalation Class ?

Thx in advance

Ok I think I just found it. I was missing the Escalation... property when right clicking on the Activity. Great functionality.
But one other question is that I don't exactly know what to use for my Destination Rule in my subprocess. There is only on Activity in it with an Escalation Rule and a Default Sever Event wehre actually nothing happens but I need some Event otherwise I can't export the process.
But what to use for the Destination (the K2 Server ?)
Thx anyway
