Wait Interval (-WI)
Use the Wait Interval adapter command (-WI) to set the length of time (in milliseconds) that the IBM® MQ queue manager allows the adapter to wait for a message to be received. Map execution is suspended until the message is received or until the specified time lapses.
-WI {0|S|wait_interval_in_milliseconds}
- Option
- Description
- 0
- Do not wait at all. If there is no input available, the adapter does not wait for more messages.
- S
- This is an infinite wait time.
- wait_interval_in_milliseconds
- This is the number of milliseconds that the adapter waits for a message.
If the Wait Interval adapter command (-WI) is not issued, the default time that the adapter waits for a message is once for each second.
If the Wait Interval adapter command (-WI) is issued, the flow engine cannot be paused or shut down for the length of time you specified in the wait_interval_in_milliseconds command option. Do not specify the S command option and attempt to pause or shut down the flow engine. This will cause the flow engine to stop responding.
