WAITMODE Statement—Specify Whether to Monitor Conditions Immediately or Continuously

The WAITMODE statement specifies whether the job waits until the monitor conditions are met or tries to verify them immediately.

Supported Job Types

This statement is optional for the following job types:

• CPU Monitoring
• Disk Monitoring
• Text File Reading and Monitoring
• Windows Event Log Monitoring

Syntax

This statement has the following format:

WAITMODE NOW|WAIT

NOW

Checks for the conditions immediately. If the conditions are met, the job completes successfully. If the conditions are not met, the job fails.

WAIT

Waits for the conditions to occur. When the conditions are met, the job completes.

Notes:

• When using the WAIT value in CPU Monitoring jobs, you must also specify the FROM operand, the TO operand, or both, in the CPU statement.
• When using the WAIT value in DISK Monitoring jobs, you must also specify the FROM operand, the TO operand, or both, in the DISK statement.
• When using the WAIT value in Text File Reading and Monitoring jobs, do not specify the TO operand in the SEARCHRANGE statement.

Example: Monitor Disk Space Usage Until It Falls in a Range

This example monitors disk space usage. The job completes when at least 60 percent of disk space is available on the C drive.
