Local fix

• Add the following logic to the Start buton's "On load" event:
  
  var timerCV = ${TestTimer}; /* Change "TestTimer" to match the
  control id of the timer, this will correct all timers on the
  page.*/
  timerCV.constructor.prototype.start = function()
   {
    var view = timerCV;
    if(!view._instance.running)
    {
     view._instance.running = true;
     view._instance.timerHandle =
  setTimeout(function(){view._proto._timerFn(view)},view.context.o
  ptions.timeout.get("value"));
    }
   };
  

Problem summary

• No additional information is available.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix that prevents the Timer coach view from firing multiple
  events will be available in a future release of IBM Business
  Automation Workflow.
  

Temporary fix
