wait

wait<T>(value: T, timeout: Number): T

Stops the execution for the specified timeout period (in milliseconds).

Stopping the execution blocks the thread, potentially causing slowness, low performance and potentially freezing of the entire runtime. This operation is intended for limited functional testing purposes. Do not use this function in a production application, performance testing, or with multiple applications deployed.

Parameters

timeout

The number of milliseconds to wait.

Source

import * from dw::Runtime
output application/json
