Wait Control Node

A Wait node is a Production control node that contains a list of branches that must complete before the data flow can proceed.

Wait nodes define how, and whether, the flow proceeds if one or more of the branches fail.

A corresponding Fork node is required to initiate the branching. Best practice is to first create the branches and then connect the branches to the Fork and Wait nodes. See Fork Control Node.

The Wait node has two panes where you set attributes.

Production Wait Node All Panes

Node Attributes

You set attributes for the Wait node in the node attributes pane.

Production Wait Node Attributes

Attribute	Description
Name	Specify a descriptive name for the node. Lower case names maximize usage of the available space.
Failure type	Specify how to handle a Wait node failure: If set to Any, which is the default and is recommended, the node fails if any of the branches fail. If set to Any and a Failure node is set, the task flow goes to the Failure node if any of the branches fail. If set to All, the task flow stops only if all of the branches fail; otherwise, the task flow continues to the next node.
Fork Node	Set the related Fork node.
Email Object for failure	Select a predefined mailing list to send an email to if the node fails. The pull-down list is populated with items that can be found in Project Settings > Mailing Lists > Email Templates. See Mailing Lists Tab for information about setting up Mailing Lists and Email Objects.
Email Object for success	Select a predefined mailing list to send an email to if the node succeeds. The pull-down list is populated with items that can be found in Project Settings > Mailing Lists > Email Templates. See Mailing Lists Tab for information about setting up Mailing Lists and Email Objects.
Email Object for warning	Select a predefined mailing list to send an email to if the node generates a warning. The pull-down list is populated with items that can be found in Project Settings > Mailing Lists > Email Templates. See Mailing Lists Tab for information about setting up Mailing Lists and Email Objects.
Failure node	Select the next node upon failure. The pull-down list contains all nodes that are on the Task Flow.
Success node	Select the next node upon successful completion. The next node automatically populates if a connecting line is set on the Task Flow. The pull-down list contains all nodes that are on the Task Flow.
