For example, there is a processor with a process time of 90 seconds. When there is a item comes to the processor and the processor starts working, how can I know how many seconds has passed since the processor starts working? Thanks.
How can I extract the time passed of a processor undergoing a process?

getitemvar(item, 1) returns the time when an item started processing in a processor. The following code snippet will return the amount of time an item has spent processing if it is in a processor:
treenode item = model().find("Processor1").first;
return time() - getitemvar(item, 1);
getitemvar(item, 2)This gives you the actual process time used instead of the solution "current time" - "time of the flow item entering the processor". The code above will work even if there are breaks in process time (process down time or operator scheduling issues).
