Validation Error with Delay AgilePart

Applies To

Symptoms

Try to use the Delay AgilePart in the process template but received error during process validation. The error is: "Condition 'Timeout = true' of activity 'Delay' can not have incoming link.

Cause

For the Delay AgilePart, the incoming link must be connected to the left of the activity and the outgoing link to the right. If the incoming or outgoing link is connected incorrectly, the similar error will occur.

Resolution

For the Delay activity, the incoming link is always on the left side while the outgoing link is on the right. The error that user encountered is because he was trying to connect the incoming link from the right which violates the rule during the validation process.

What the user needs to do to fix the problem is to reconnect the incoming link to the left side of the Delay activity and the outgoing link from the right side of the activity.
