  • Use wait for deputy to pause lead controller when deputy is executing in parallel mode (that is, the parallel argument of the use deputy action that launched this deputy’s run was set to yes.)
  • The number of arguments – that is, deputy names – is unlimited. Specify additional deputies in columns adjacent to deputy name. Note that they do not require argument headers.
  • This action is intended for execution only on lead controllers, and applies only to deputies running in parallel mode (that is, invoked with the parallel argument of use deputy set to yes).
  • This action supports the <ignore> modifier. If the string <ignore> is present as the value of any of the arguments, or any argument contains an expression that evaluates to <ignore>, the action is skipped during execution.
