The pause task allows you to pause a job for a specified period of time.
The task-specific settings are explained below. For all other settings, see General task settings.
Wait time
There are two different ways to define how the pause task is performed:
… (since the) start of the pause task
The task is always executed and suspends the execution of the job for the entire specified time period in the Duration field.
... (since the) last time the DAT file was modified
ibaDatCoordinator checks the modification date of the DAT file.
If the change occurred longer ago than the time period defined in the Duration field, the job continues without interruption.
If the change falls within the defined Duration, the job is paused for a period corresponding to the remaining duration between the defined time span and the difference between the current time and the time of the change.
