MOM SDK ScriptContext.Sleep method should be documented in Milliseconds (Not Seconds)

  • Article

The MOM 2005 SDK incorrectly documents the ScriptContext.Sleep method for temporarily pausing a script as seconds :

[VBScript] ScriptContext.Sleep(seconds As Long)

This is documented incorrectly. It should be

[VBScript] ScriptContext.Sleep(milliseconds As Long)

For example:

ScriptContext.Sleep (60000)  'This will pause for 1 minute.

The error in question is on https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/momsdk/HTM/R_Script/MOM_IEEMScriptContext.Sleep.asp

There are no plans to change the above link as it would then conflict with the content downloadable in the SDK (momsdk.chm),  which also documents this incorrectly.

A KB article documenting this issue will be forthcoming shortly.
