Wait
Figure 1: Wait With the Wait object, a latency in the process of a Workflow can be modeled. It's one of the Modeling Blocks inside of the Xyna Process Modeller.
Please note: By default, no Capacities are released in the process during the execution of a Wait step. However, for long-term latencies the release of resources can be preferable. In this case, attach the Free Capacities operator to the Wait object.
Please note: The Wait object is not designed to wait for external events or another Workflow. This can be achieved with the help of the Synchronization Service.
To insert a Wait object, drag the Wait symbol 
from the icon bar into the Workflow.
The Wait object expects the duration of the latency as its Input Parameter. Latencies can be indicated as relative time periods (e.g. wait for five minutes) or as absolute time designations (e.g. wait until 31.12., 23:59:59).
The execution of a firmware update is limited to a maintenance window, but requires time-uncritical preliminary work (e.g. compiling a list of network elements to update). In order to integrate this into one process, the continuation of the Workflow can be interrupted by the Wait object right after the preliminary work has been done and resumed within the maintenance window.
