ALTER AUDITTRAIL
timeout
is the timeout duration. Enter timeout as an integer in the following
format, indicating the duration in hours, minutes, or seconds:
integer {HOUR[S] | MINUTES[S] | SECOND[S]}
TMF stays in the commit-hold condition (commit-hold is activated) until
either the timeout duration expires or the components required for ZLT
again become available. The minimum timeout is 5 seconds, and you can
specify the maximum as 86400 seconds or 1440 minutes or 24 hours. For
most applications, values close to one minute seem appropriate.
If you specify a timeout value, you can also indicate what TMF should do
when the timeout duration expires, by specifying SUSPEND or CRASH.
This activity is called the timeout action.
SUSPEND
suspends the commit-hold condition, allowing transaction commit or abort
to resume (just as though COMMITHOLDMODE were explicitly turned
OFF). When the problem that triggered the commit-hold is corrected,
COMMITHOLDMODE is automatically turned ON.
CRASH
displays an EMS message announcing that TMF will crash and then forces
the crash. If you subsequently restart TMF and the conditions that
triggered the commit-hold still exist, the commit-hold is re-activated
immediately and no new transactions can be committed or aborted.
•
To indicate an indefinite duration, use the construct:
COMMITHOLDTIMER -1
where
-1
keeps TMF in the commit-hold condition indefinitely. For this value, the
commit-hold remains in effect until ZLT can be guaranteed or until you
explicitly set COMMITHOLDMODE to either OFF or SUSPEND. If you
enter a timeout value of -1, you cannot specify a timeout action (SUSPEND
or CRASH).
Note. The timeout value is always stored in terms of seconds, regardless of
whether you specify the timeout value in hours, minutes, or seconds.
