Problem

A Forum reader recently asked:

"I was wondering, how could I add a delay(sec) function in a rule action in Policy Builder for an IDM driver?"

And here is the response from Father Ramon ...

Solution

you can make an extension function call to the java.lang.Thread.sleep(1000), like this:

<do-set-local-variable name="sleep-result">
  <arg-string>
   <token-xpath expression="java.lang.Thread:sleep(1000)"/>
  </arg-string>
</do-set-local-variable>

In versions of IDM before 3.5, you would need to map a namespace instead of putting in the class name directly.

It was contributed by a community member and is published "as is." It seems to have worked for at least one person, and might work for you. But please be sure to test, test, test before you do anything drastic with it.
