Set expiration of External Assignment to 1 HOUR (and not per day)
Hello,
I am using an external assignment and I need it to expire in 1hour.
Currently we can only set the DaysToExpiration as you can see in the below screenshot; so I set the equivalent of 1hour in the 'DaysToExpiration' field:
After investigation, we noticed that this External Assignment calls the OOTB Final Activity Work-.External that -among other usages- calculates the value of the property pyExpiration on step#7 by calling the OOTB function DateTime addToDate as such:
Lib(Pega-RULES:DateTime).addToDate("", param.DaysToExpiration, "0", "0", "0")
Below are the input parameters of the function:
This scenario is generating an error :

I cannot edit the final OOTB activity Work-.External to give her as parameter 1 hour and I do not want to edit the OOTB function in fear of a regression since it is used by many rules defined under the PegaRules Ruleset.
Any idea about how to tackle this issue will be greatly appreciated :)
Thank you,

Hi Mariane,
How about converting your decimal value in to string, which is expected as an input parameter for "pega_rules_datetime.addToDate--(String,String,String,String,String)" function as below:-
I am able to save the flow correctly and there wasn't any error on clipboard.
Hope it helps in achieving your requirement, if so kindly mark it as answered.

Hello Asif,
Many Thanks for your reply :)
I did as you instructed but I am still getting the following Exception in the tracer when I run the flow:
com.pega.pegarules.pub.runtime.LibraryFunctionNotFoundException: Problem invoking function: pega_rules_datetime.addToDate--(String,String,String,String,String), For input string: "0.0416670"
Logically it should accept it because it is a String but for some reason it is not.
Any more ideas about this issue?
Any small help will be greatly appreciated :)
Thanks,
