We are using Deployment Manager 6 and need to add a wait mechanism inside a pipeline stage so that an action pauses execution for 24 hours before the next task runs automatically.
What is the supported or recommended approach in DM6 to implement a long wait or delay between tasks?
Our requirement is:
In DM6, the supported way is not to keep a pipeline step sleeping for 24 to 48 hours, because Pega guidance points to scheduling the next deployment by using the Deployment Manager API, typically through a Job Scheduler, instead of adding a long in-pipeline wait.
So the clear solution is to finish Task A, stop that pipeline there, and use a Job Scheduler to call the DM deployment API at the exact future time when Task B should start automatically.
This gives you a fully automatic 24 hour or 48 hour delay without manual action, and it follows the approach Pega references for scheduled execution
