Even with the Do step, you can still hit the max steps limit since you can't predict how long you'll have to wait. A better solution would to use
java.util.concurrent.locks.ReentrantLock and java.util.concurrent.locks.Condition to implement a signal and wait feature in your script.
the steps are:
1. Create an instance of ReentrantLock() object that'll be shared in the two areas of your script
2. Use the lock object from step 1 to create an instance of Condition object
3. in one part of your script, wait for a signal.
4. In the other part of your script, send a signal when the data is available.
A sample code might look like this:
//this lock and condition object is to be shared in the two areas of your application: Area 1, and Area 2.
java.util.concurrent.locks.ReentrantLock lock = new java.util.concurrent.locks.ReentrantLock();
java.util.concurrent.locks.Condition condition = lock.newCondition();
//Area 1:
//--------------------
try{
lock.lock();
condition.await();
}finally{
lock.unlock();
}
//The only way the executing thread will get here is after receiving a signal from area 2.
//the rest of your ivr steps follows here.
//-------------------------
//Area 2 code:
//--------------------------
try{
lock.lock();
condition.signal();
}finally{
lock.unlock();
}
//----------------------------------
