Wait for a few minutes before starting a backgroung step in workflow

Dear All,
I have a requirement where in I have to make sure the user has completed a particular workitem. The workitem is to open the transaction PP02. I cannot make it asynchronous and use a terminating event as I could not see any logical place where I could trigger the terminating event on SAVE.
Now, I am trying to check if the database is updated on save of the transaction and before I do that I would want the workflow to wait for a few mintues.Is this approach correct?
Is there any way I can make the workflow to wait for a few mintues before it starts the next backgound step?
Please suggest.
Best Regards
Vikram

I think it is better option to use the WAIT Step
as you said that until you save the data in the trabsaction you don't want to proceed further then, try like this
Create a wait step and use the option wait for condition.
define a element in the workflow of type char01( assume TEST) .
Pass X to this element from the transaction when ever you save the data.
and define the condition for the wait step in such a way that until the value of TEST = X do not proceed further.

Firefox stalls for a few minutes before allowing touch pad commands, new tabs, firefox 8.0.1 w/ os 10.6.8.

Upon waking from sleep or restarting Firefox the program won't allow track pad scrolls or show opening of a new tab whether by link or command. Once the program has been open a few minutes all the tabs that were attempted show up at once and track pad functionality returns. No other programs behave in this manner during this period of time. Using Firefox 8.0.1 with OS 10.6.8.
Any ideas? Thanks!

I tried deleting Firefox's cache from user/library/caches/firefox/profiles/XXXXXXXX.Default User/Cache. I also deleted mozilla-media-cache and startupCache with no luck. I then tried reinstalling after deleting Firefox under the application folder and deleting org.mozilla.firefox.plist in the user/library/preferences folder per instructions - no luck there as well.
The problem persists for example after opening Firefox for the first time hours after turning on the computer...

IMac 27inch - goes white screen for about a minute before start up? any advice...

Hi
When I start up my iMac 27inch, the screen goes white for a minute or two before a white ball starts to spin then the apple sign loads and thge iMac loads.
But this shouldn't happen, any suggestions..

Try an SMC/PRAM reset:
SMC RESET:
Shut down the computer.
Unplug all cords from the computer.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's cords.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET:
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Screensaver says "Loading Photos" for a few seconds before starting

Hello,
I have a mid 2011 Imac and am running OSX 10.9.5. I have a photo screensaver which directs to a specific folder of about 2,000 photos (total size of 8 GBs). Before the screen saver starts, it displays a screen saying "Loading Photos" for approximately 5 seconds. I know this is a small problem, but it's annoying. This used to not happen and the photos would start being displayed immediately after the screen saver starts. I think this "Loading photos" started around the time I upgraded to Mavericks. I just installed 8 more GBs of RAM (total of 12), thinking this would solve the problem, but the "Loading photos" still happens.
How can I fix this? Is this symptomatic of other speed issues?
Thanks.

Safari is a fully Universal Application which means it does not run under Rosetta on an Intel Mac, nor does it run under Rosetta on PowerPC based machine as Rosetta does not exist for PowerPC.
I have no idea what you could possibly mean when you say you watch WMP clips, unless you have a WMP player visible in Safari. In this case Safari is still not running under Rosetta but possibly the WMP player is.
Also try using real words in your replies rather than bad spelling. Your reply should have been "Yes it does, that's how I watch WMP clips", hardly difficult.

Open tabs that go unused for a few minutes no longer work and cause me to lose the page it was on.

I like to keep many tabs open at all times, and recently Firefox has started messing up my tabs whereas I've never had a problem with this before. I believe it started after the latest Firefox update.
As mentioned above, if a tab stays open but unused for a few minutes while working in other tabs, the site's logo next to the page's title (such as Amazon's "a" logo with the arrow under it next to "Your Orders" for example) gets replaced with the spinning green ring that usually indicates loading, but it spins much faster than it does when it's actually loading something. When you click on the tab to open it again, it is simply a blank tab and I'm forced to manually hunt down the page I was on again. However, when I log off my computer or restart it while the tabs have the spinning green rings on them, the next time I open Firefox after logging back in to my computer, it opens all the correct pages and tabs, but only if I didn't click on/open any of the tabs while they had the spinning green ring, thus rendering them back to blank tabs. If I click on a tab with the spinning green ring (rendering it blank) and then log off/restart and open Firefox again upon logging back in to my computer, Firefox will have indeed lost that page's information and it re-opens as a blank tab, as it was when the system logged off. To top it all off, if any tab(s) is/are doing that fast-spinning green ring glitch, it makes whatever I'm working on run slower, such as making a video lag that I'm watching on Youtube. If I notice that happening I'm forced to go click on the tab (losing its data in the process) and manually go back to the page I was on again just so it will stop doing the fast-spinning green ring and I can watch my video smoothly, but this only lasts for a few minutes before those pages start the green ring glitch once again and I have to repeat the process. Another oddity of note is that this only happens to tabs I actually click on and open during each session. If I restart or log off my computer and log back in and start up Firefox again, the green ring glitch doesn't happen to any of the tabs I don't touch during my session. It only happens to tabs I actually open during that session, but it happens to every single tab that I do I open during that session.
This is getting highly irritating and it's making working in Firefox a huge hassle, as it's happening constantly. PLEASE fix this. Firefox has never done this to me before, so I don't understand why it's happening now. I haven't downloaded or installed any new plug-ins or add-ons to Firefox so I know that I've done nothing to the program to cause this.
Thank you for looking into this for me. I look forward to hearing back ASAP and finding a remedy for this problem. This glitch is driving me crazy.

Are there any numbered sessionstore-##.js files in the Firefox profile folder
You can also check for problems with the sessionstore-backups folder in the profile folder.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

Every time I start my Apple TV it shuts down. I have to unplug it and wait for it to reconnect before I can use it. Any suggestions?

Every time I start my Apple TV it shuts down. I have to unplug it and wait for it to reboot before I can use it. This makes turning on Apple TV a very long process. Any suggestions?

That would be very hard to do, as I would have to do a lot of things--including moving furniture to get at the back of a receiver--and I'm not at all sure that the receive could accommodate it.
The process is like this: I dial the receiver to the Apple TV input. The light comes on, like it's connecting, but then the Apple TV goes dark before any connection happens. Then I unplug the power cord, wait a few moments, and plug it back in. Then the Apple TV actually connects, but only after a full reboot (setting time, etc).

My MacBook Pro's screen just started randomly going blank, sometimes white sometimes black, and I won't be able to do anything no matter what key I press unless I restart it via the power button and even then I have a few minutes before it happens again

MacBook Pro's screen randomly goes blank (white sometimes dark), wont be able to do anything no matter what key i press unless i turn it off and on via the power button. When i do that I normally have just a few minutes before it happens again. Bought this back in december just started happening a few days ago. Only thing out of the ordinary I've done is install that microsoft silverlight or whatever it is netflix asked me to install to watch the videos but I uninstalled that quickly hoping it would fix my problem but it hasn't so please help me out if you know what to do

When I have documents open and I walk away for a few minutes, when I come back and try to resume working, my computer seems to freeze up and the little pinwheel starts spinning and I literally have to unplug my computer to get it out of this frozen state.

When I have documents open and I walk away for a few minutes, when I come back and resume working, my computer freezes up and the little pinwheel starts spinning. I literally have to unplug it to get out of this frozen state. This has been getting progressively worse over the past three months. I recently took it into the Genius Bar and they could not find anything wrong. They told me to add more memory, which I did. However, the problem persists. Do you know why my computer would freeze up after the screen has had no activity for just a few minutes? My screen saver is set for an hour so I know this is not the problem.

What kind of documents? Office? iWork? Text Edit? What version?
What settings do you have in regards to power saver and/or screen saver?
For these kinds of system glitches I always recommend installing and running Onyx 'Automation'. If that does not work you should reinstall the offending software, if possible.

Spinning color wheel whenever computer is used after idle for a few minutes

Whenever I try to use my iMac after it's been idle for a few minutes there is a 3-5 second delay while the color wheel spins. This happens in all programs. I have deleted the plist power settings and all sleep options and processor options have been tried to no avail. The mouse remains responsive and I can move the cursor but whenever I click or try to execute any operations the color wheel appears.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
iMac G5 rev B Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Thanks, but no Norton installed. It gets a little stranger; I reinstalled the system software with an archive and save. Now I still get the delay after the computer is idle for a few minutes, but I no longer get the color wheel. Example, if I start iTunes and then wait about 2-3 minutes when I hit play the play button turns blue but it takes several seconds before the song plays. Before I reinstalled I would have the same delay only I would get the color wheel.

Keyboard and trackpad freeze after being idle for a few minutes

I have a early 2008 MBP and just today the keyboard and trackpad freeze after not using it for a few minutes. I was at work when it happened. I plugged it in and started doing something else and a few minutes later came back and i couldn't move the mouse or do anything with the keyboard, but processes were still running. For example, I have a fan speed app that sits in the toolbar, and it was still showing current fan speed. So I restarted it, and it did it again. So the next time it happened, I closed the lid and opened it up and it fixed it. It's happened several times now after a few minutes of non use and I just close the lid and it fixes it. Also, there was a period when I was using my computer for a couple of hours non stop and it didn't have a problem. Only when I'm not touching the keyboard or trackpad does it do it. since this keeps happening i have verified the disk in disk utility, done a hardware reset with cmd+opt+p+r, ran through system profiler to see if there were any problems with no results, and it still does it. Anyone have any ideas?
It should be noted that not only does the battery not work for more than about 2 minutes, the left I/O board appears to be dying. The power chord takes a considerable amount of wiggling and adjusting before it finds a place where it will actually charge. The audio out and the USB on that side are the same way. So I am aware of that problem. Also, I have had to take out the right side fan multiple times and disassemble and oil the bearing because it's going bad, which requires taking the top plate off, but I haven't had to do that for over 6 months. In my mind if the problem was caused by taking the top plate off, that would fry the entire top plate, which happened once when a technitian at a local company took the computer apart for a waranty repair. All of these problems considered, I don't think they would have anything to do with the fact that the mouse and keyboard suddenly won't work after about 5-10 minutes of sitting idle. I have done nothing different since yesterday that would explain why it does this.
Also, I can't do anything with the install disk because the CD drive is dead. But that's mostly because it was a piece of garbage to begin with.
Any Ideas would be helpful.

After doing some more digging I was watching processes in Activity Monitor to see if I could see what process is failing. I think the problem with with Chrome. It only happened when Chrome was open. And since then I reinstalled it and the problem has so far gone away. So, I think the problems is solved.

OS is slow for a few minutes after log in

Hi,
I operate in a two-user environment. When either of the accounts has been signed in, it takes a few minutes before programs start responding at proper speed. Even with all Login Items disabled, it can take several minutes for the OS to respond properly to launch or open commands.
This can be such a hassle that I'll log the machine in and walk away for a while, just to get past this hiccup. My wife's PB G4 responds faster than my MBP during these initial login times, and neither her PB or my old G5 seem to have this issue.
I'm running a Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro with 2 GB of RAM and OS X 10.4.10. This machine is significantly faster than the G5 it replaced, but it seems to take a lot longer to normalize after login. Is this something with one of the later 10.4 builds, the MacBook Pro, or perhaps an OS issue I need to solve with a reinstall? Anyone else have this issue?
I appreciate any advice! Thanks!

OK, going on your suggestion to check Activity Monitor, I noticed a process called update_prebindin running and rerunning for the first 20-40 seconds of login. I did a Google on this and discovered that a small program I occasionally use called Rosetta is to blame.
Apparently (and in paraphrasing here I could be getting it a bit wrong, but what the heck), the author decided to fix some bugs by launching this process as a workaround, even though this caused a speed hit during the first part of login - and in addition apparently it writes a bunch of needless files to disk, too! How irresponsible!
He got around to actually fixing this back in March (when an OS X update from Apple apparently made it easier for him). I have suffered since then. I'm throwing away his application, even though I paid for it and occasionally use it. It's pure poison in my book.
So the bottom line is, if you're using Rosetta or anything else from Unsanity.org, beware!
Thanks for the help -

Help! When I try to purchase a song from iTunes and have agreed to the terms and conditions, it then tells me that my session has timed out... but I've only been trying for a few minutes. I can't buy songs if it keeps doing this!

Help! When I try to purchase a song from iTunes and have agreed to the terms and conditions, it then tells me that my session has timed out... but I've only been trying for a few minutes. I can't buy songs if it keeps doing this! Does anyone know why it's doing this and how to fix it? Thanks!

Hi mterry1723, one solution that might be worth trying is this:
- Close iTunes, if it's open
- Open Safari and got to 'Preferences'
- Select 'Security' on the top
- Untick all the security options in the menu
- Click the 'Show Cookies' button and look for all the 'apple' entries in the left-hand column.
- Highlight them (select them collectively) and press 'Remove'
- Now open iTunes and buy the song as usual.
- You may be asked to do the same security process as before, so do as asked.
- Hopefully, the security check will now have accepted your answers and start downloading the song as normal.
Remember to re-tick all the required security options you had just un-ticked in Safari preferences. You don't need to bother about opening the cookies again.
I hope this has worked for you and my profoundest apologies if it has not. Worth a go, though!
I did see this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18259935#18259935 which may be of more help, mainly the last entry by 'c2boyd'

Internet dropping. Works for a few minutes, sometimes seconds. Then cuts out completely and hangs.

Since doing a clean install of Mountain Lion on my 2011 iMac. The internet connects on startup, works for a few minutes, then hangs as if it's getting stuck.
Everything is up to date and I've tried numberous ideas to fix it (Renewing the DHCP, editing the MTU). Nothing works.
It's still fully connected to the wifi and says there's an internet connection but nothing will load, not just the browsers but also anything else to do with the internet also doesn't work.
I've seen others with the same issue also.
Any assistance would be highly appreciated as my iMac is pretty much rendered useless currently.

Before you do any settings on your Router, First you can upgrade the firmware of your router. Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop.
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
Click Here to configure your router with DSL ISP.
Thanks for the instructions Mort and clong but before I update my firmware, I was able to connect to the internet on my computer with the router at last! But there is still a problem. Whenever I try to connect my PS3 to it, it would stop working for both my PC and the PS3.
