How to add a delay to a Dell Boomi flow using data process

When making API calls within a Boomi flow, if multiple requests are triggered simultaneously and the API does not support concurrent calls, resulting in errors, you can mitigate this by using a combination of a flow control block and a data process block. By adjusting the delay in the script, you can ensure an appropriate interval between each API call to prevent such errors.

Groovy 1.5 script to add a delay:

import java.util.Properties;
import java.io.InputStream;
// Specify the length of time to wait in seconds.
int waitFor = 2;
Thread.sleep(waitFor * 1000);
// Leave the rest of the script as-is to pass the Documents to the next step.
for ( int i = 0; i < dataContext.getDataCount(); i++ ) {
InputStream is = dataContext.getStream(i);
Properties props = dataContext.getProperties(i);
dataContext.storeStream(is, props);
}
