Proceed with other Actions only after the Start & Stop Service Action has completed and the desired service status change has been achieved. Also, define a timeout and its behavior when the timeout elapses.

Additionally, enable or disable this Action. Change the display name for this step to show custom text in the Actions list. Change logging preferences and fine-tune the Advanced Fallback settings.

Workflow behavior Select a waiting behavior from 2 available options:
  • Continue immediately · do not wait, and continue executing a workflow with the next Action.
  • Wait for service state change · wait while the selected maintenance activity is completed, and only then continue.
Enable waiting timeoutOptionally, to prevent an unintended workflow lockdown (in case the Start & Stop Service Action is waiting indefinitely), set the Do not wait longer than timeout value and choose a procedure to perform when On timeout is reached…
On timeoutChoose behavior if the Start & Stop Service Action times out:
  • Continue Task · proceed the workflow with the next Action.
  • Continue with · choose an Action to continue with.
