Ok No Collection has been selected. --> SWAITCAT: Wait for the catalog value to reach a state The SWAITCAT command enables a client to wait until a given transfer reaches a particular predefined phase, phasestep, or state before acting. Command syntax: SWAITCAT Task examples: SWAITCAT tasks Alternatively, you can use the parameters WSTATES and WTIMEOUT to replace SWAITCAT functionality. Command features The SWAITCAT command enables you to perform the following functions: Serialize transfers Remotely control transfers using synchronous communication Synchronize the termination of a collection of simultaneous transfers Enhance script functioning SWAITCAT uses synchronous communication for notification when a predefined phase, phasestep or state is reached. Or, conversely, it can notify CFTUTIL if the phase, phasestep, or state is not reached (K or H phasestep). If the command fails, CFTUTIL sends the return code 8. The SWAITCAT command specific errors are: SWAITCAT_FAILED: the transfer reached the K or H phasestep SWAITCAT_TIMEOUT: the defined timeout was reached SWAITCAT_NFOUND: no matching transfer was found SWAITCAT_DELETED: the transfer was deleted SWAITCAT_PARAM_ERROR: invalid parameter SWAITCAT_TOO_MANY: too many transfers were selected (more than 2) Syntax overview SWAITCAT select=STRING* Parameters [ states=STRING ] [ timeout=INTEGER ] Expression Select is a Boolean expression that identifies one transfer. It is a mandatory argument. Syntax CAT_ID OP VALUE (CAT_ID OP VALUE) CAT_ID OP VALUE && CAT_ID OP VALUE CAT_ID OP VALUE || CAT_ID OP VALUE Values Possible values for CAT_ID: IDTU IDT PART PHASE (A, T, Y, Z, X) PHASESTEP (D, C, H, K, X) STATE (D,C,T,X,H,K) DIRECT (RECV,SEND) TYPE (FILE,MESSAGE,REPLY) MODE (REQUESTER,SERVER) IDF IDA COMMENT For OP: == equal != different ~= match pattern (value with *,?) /= doesn't match pattern > greater < lower >= greater or equal <= lower or equal VALUE: anything between double " or single ' quotes. States The states parameter is a string that can be composed of the T, X, Y, Z, N and A states. The default is "TX". Possible values for the states parameter are: T: the transfer is completed TX: the transfer is completed or reached the X state A: the transfer is acknowledged TA: the transfer is completed and acknowledged TXA: the transfer is completed and acknowledged, or the transfer reached the X state and is acknowledged X: the transfer reached the X state XA: the transfer reached the X state and is acknowledged Y: the transfer reached post-processing phase Z: the transfer reached acknowledged phase N: the transfer is completed and received a negative acknowledgment Timeout Timeout is the maximum WAIT time in seconds. The default is approximately one year (365*24*3600 s). Related Links
