Hi I have a problem with the timer. I created a timer and it works fine, it enters the trigger when-timer-expired, but the problem is that when I create the timer, it doesn't respect the expiration time. So if I put 100000 or 1000 the time doesn't change.

I assume that you are running 9i or 10g.

I believe that the 'time' is not 'honoured'.

It is my understanding that Oracle was going to drop timers from 9i/10g but as a timer is the only way to get navigation to work when processing is initiated via a when-validate-item trigger, etc, they had to keep some of its functionality. So the timer only has a '1 tick' time period.
