CMD Type(BBI) — Issue BBI command with response - Documentation for BMC AMI Ops Automation 8.3

ALLWAIT allows CMD processing to continue waiting in intervals (specified in seconds) until no responses are received within an interval of that length.

If at least one response is received in that interval, processing continues for an additional interval. This processing is repeated until no responses are received within an interval, which may result in added wait time. Therefore small intervals of 1-5 are recommended.

IMFEXEC CMD 'cmd_text' TYPE(BBI) ALL ALLWAIT(3)

For this example, processing waits 3 seconds as specified in ALLWAIT and then checks to see if any responses were received. If none, the command is terminated. If a response was received, processing waits an additional 3 seconds and checks again.

This action is repeated until no responses are received within the specified interval.

Note

ALLWAIT is valid only when ALL is specified.
