What can happen if a Wait stage times out without meeting conditions?

When a Wait stage in Blue Prism encounters a timeout without meeting the specified conditions, the process can either continue executing further actions or an exception may be triggered. This behavior is designed to allow flexibility in managing process flows. If the conditions for the Wait stage are not satisfied within the allotted time, it does not simply halt or terminate the entire process; instead, it can move on to the next instruction, which allows for error handling or alternative actions to be taken.

This is especially important in scenarios where processes depend on external systems or data inputs that may not always be available within expected timeframes. By allowing further actions to execute or throwing an exception, the process can adapt to a variety of runtime situations, ensuring more robust and resilient automation overall. Thus, this design helps in managing exceptions and ensuring that processes can handle delays without complete failure.
