Host Wait for Screen

This Host Interface tool waits for a specified screen defined in the host profile to appear. You might use this to verify that you are on the correct screen before proceeding. This tool uses the validation rules specified in the host profile to verify the screen. See validation rules in the Interaction Host Recorder documentation for more information.

Inputs

The name of the connection created by the Host Connect tool.

Host Profile

The name of a published host profile. You may select from a list of published host profiles.

Screen

The name of a screen as defined in the host profile.

Timeout (milliseconds)

The number of milliseconds to wait before taking the Timeout path. Refer to the following table for more information:

Timeout Value	Affect
0	Immediate

Exit Paths

Success

This step takes the Success exit path if the string appears.

Failure

This step takes the Failure exit path if the host connection is invalid, or becomes invalid during the operation. This occurs if the mainframe disconnects for some reason.
