Coordinating overlapped operations in remote groups
All overlapped operations on all nodes in a group must have completed before the master node can
send a command to the group. If you send a command to a node in a remote group when an
overlapped operation is running on any node in that group, errors will occur.
You can execute the waitcomplete() command on the master node or group leader to wait for
overlapped operations. The action of waitcomplete() depends on the parameters specified.
If you want to wait for completion of overlapped operations for:
• All nodes in the local group: Use waitcomplete() without a parameter from the master node
or group leader.
• A specific group: Use waitcomplete(N) with a group number as the parameter from the
master node. This option is not available for group leaders.
• All nodes in the system: Use waitcomplete(0) from the master node. This option is not
available for group leaders.
For additional information, refer to waitcomplete() (on page 11-393).
The following code shows two examples of using the waitcomplete() command from the
master node:
-- Wait for each node in group N to complete all overlapped operations.
waitcomplete(N)
-- Wait for all groups on the TSP-Link network to complete overlapped operations.
waitcomplete(0)
A group leader can issue the waitcomplete() command to wait for the local group to complete all
overlapped operations.
The following code is an example of how to use the waitcomplete() command from a group
leader:
-- Wait for all nodes in the local group to complete all overlapped operations.
