There are two "mode wait' conditions that are often seen from the onstat -g ses or from onstat -g ath. These are netnorm (for tcp connections) and smread (for shared memory clients). These are the conditions when the engine thread is waiting for the client to give it a command. It could be that the client program is waiting on input from a keyboard or for some other reason, but basically it means that the thread is waiting for the client to give it somthing to do.
