Doing a search for semaphore in *.* (global search), it shows many results.
Few of them are :
In framework/service/dtd/services.xsd
<xs:attribute name="semaphore" default="none">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:token">
<xs:enumeration value="none"/>
<xs:enumeration value="fail"/>
<xs:enumeration value="wait"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:attribute>
In framework/service/servicedef/services.xml
<!-- Service Engine Services -->
<service name="purgeOldJobs" engine="java"
location="org.ofbiz.service.ServiceUtil" invoke="purgeOldJobs"
auth="true" use-transaction="false" semaphore="wait">
It has to some thing wrong with your search.
