+QRETRY

The +QRETRY parameter specifies how long BMC AMI Utilities can hold a drain and how many times a drain can be requested. Initially, the drain only establishes a Point-In-Time. Later drains apply changes accumulated during the product processing.

duration

Duration that BMC AMI Utilities hold a drain. The time is expressed as MMSSTH:

  • MM—minutes
  • SS—seconds
  • T—tenths of a second
  • H—hundredths of a second

The default duration is 20 seconds, in the format (002000,10). You can change the default during configuration.

Important

Do not specify a duration less than one second. If you do, BMC AMI Utilities change the value to the Internal Resource Lock Manager (IRLM) timeout value, which can result in application timeouts.

numTries

Accepts a three-digit integer (default =10). If the number of retries is exceeded, a message is issued and the product terminates with a return code of 8. The maximum numTries value is 999.

The drain is retried when a drain fails to occur in the allotted time, and BMC AMI Utilities issue the following message:

NGTC267 DRAIN(WTR) FAILED
Example
+QRETRY(002000,30)

BMC AMI Utilities hold the drain for twenty seconds and retries a maximum of 30 times.
