PAUSE_WAIT keyword

Use the PAUSE_WAIT keyword to specify the maximum wait time for the active BMP, CICS, and ODBA applications that are accessing the DEDB to stop. This keyword is effective when IMS Tools Common Pauser is enabled.

This keyword is used in conjunction with the PAUSE_INTERVAL keyword to control the wait time of IMS Tools Common Pauser. For example, when PAUSE_WAIT=100 and PAUSE_INTERVAL=10, IMS Tools Common Pauser sends pause requests to applications, then it issues the DBRTEST command to check whether the applications are stopped. If applications are still accessing the DEDB, because PAUSE_INTERVAL=10 is set, it waits for 10 seconds and issues the next DBRTEST command. Then, because PAUSE_WAIT=100 is set, it waits up to 100 seconds to receive a successful response from the DBRTEST command.

PAUSE_WAIT is an optional keyword for the RESTRUCTURE command.
