Changing the idle timeout for affinity tasks

Affinity timeout is the amount of time that the task is held between requests for the affinity task.

When the task is inactive for the defined period, the affinity is no longer valid and the task is available for other work.

To change the idle timeout for affinity tasks

  1. Open your startup configuration member for editing.

    Important

    The startup member name is typically the same as the started task procedure name for the UIM server.

  2. From your startup configuration member, find the AFF_TIMEOUT_SECS variable.
    The following example shows the variable set to the default number of seconds, 1800:

        <bmc_parm id="AFF_TIMEOUT_SECS" value="1800" />
  3. Change the value of AFF_TIMEOUT_SECS to any numeric value in seconds.
