Retry Settings
The Retry map settings define whether to try again if compiled map files, work
files, audit log files, or trace files that are needed during map execution cannot be
opened.
Specify the Interval and MaxAttempts to define how many times and at what
interval attempts are made to access an unavailable file.
If adapter errors occur (for example, failure to connect) and Retry >
Switch = On, the adapter process is retried at the interval specified with the
Interval value up to as many times as defined with the MaxAttempts setting.
Retry > Switch
The Switch setting enables or disables Retry options. The default value for the
Switch setting is OFF.
Value Description
OFF Disables Retry options. Only one attempt to access an
unavailable file. If this fails, a return code and message
(Could not open file) are returned by the map.
ON Enables Retry options. Retry is enabled for the number of
attempts specified by the value of the MaxAttempts setting
at the interval specified by the value of the Interval setting.
Retry > Interval
Use the Interval setting to specify the interval to wait between attempts to open
a system file referenced by the map. The default value for the Interval setting
is 0.
Value Description
n
Enter a number that represents the number of seconds to wait
between attempts to access input data referenced by the map.
Valid entries are integers 0 to 9999.
