Hi folks,
we have a time-critical process in which a large number of PDFs may have to be redistilled (Callas PDF Toolbox) in a short space of time. The TimeOut here is set to 20 minutes and cannot be changed. This is too long for the subsequent processing, the jobs then remain orphaned.
I am therefore looking for a logic in which PDF jobs are forwarded as originals after 5 minutes at the latest. The processed file, if it is finished at all, should then be deleted.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks in advance!

Best regards, Jürgen

can no one answer this question
i am facing the same situation

Hi,
In the folder preceding the processing element, create a private data entry with the following value:

Next, establish a new arrow connection to another branch of the flow. In this branch, use a Hold Job element to pause the job for X minutes .

After the hold duration, add an nject element configured to use the jobPath private data.

• If the job is no longer available, it will follow the **Fail** arrow of the Inject element.
• If the job is present, you can reroute the original job accordingly.

Here’s a visual representation of the setup:

Or... don't overcomplicate things like I did in my previous answer

Take advantage of the Advanced Options in the flow properties:


Then, on the specific element where you want the delay, set up a Idle after job (secs) :
