Results

If the WaitSeconds parameter is -1, the current requestor pauses indefinitely until the parallel child connectors created by one or more earlier methods completes.

If the WaitSeconds parameter contains a positive integer, Process Commander pauses execution of the current activity for at least that number of seconds.

When awakened, if the method status is Good, the activity can examine the results pages of the connector methods. If the method status is Fail, this may indicate that one or more of the parallel child requestors has not completed.

C-757 The Connect-Wait method sets the method status to Good or Fail even if you simulate the connector rule through a Connector Simulation data instance.

Checking the method status

This method updates the pxMethodStatus property. See How to test method results using a transition.
