I have a thread step as the following, but got this error after migrated to v8, then I found it's no longer supported in Java engine: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSB2MV_8.0.0/com.ibm.rational.buildforge.doc/topics/dotcmd_run_and_runwait.html?lang=en

It says use a conditional step instead, but my "Unix-H" is a libray and it needs to inherit all the environment variables from the calling project , how can I launch this library in the command of a conditional step?

I tried to use the step inline, but doesn't seem called:

Why the first step of the inline got cancelled? Even I put a simple echo step, it still got cancelled.

 I miss-understood the notes, it means -c option is no longer supported, .run and .runwait are still supported.
