Action Description
The "Delay" template allows creating an action to pause the T-workflow execution until a specific waiting time is passed. The waiting time is calculated by adding the block's wait time (e.g. 60s) plus the database's job running frequency (5min by default). For instance, if the wait block is set to 60s, the actual waiting time will be 60s. AFTER the database jobs start running.
NB: The job running frequency of a database, which by default is 5 minutes, can be set in the "SQL Management Studio > SQL Serve Agent > Jobs > Wf_Runtime.[MyDatabase]" right-clicking on a schedule property and choosing "Properties > Schedules > Frequency".
