CONTENTION – Retry limits
What to do in event of contention within HCL Workload Automation for Z.
- Delay
- The number of seconds to delay before retry (default is 30).
- Retries
- The number of reattempts to make (default is 10).
For example, CONTENTION(10,5)
waits 10
seconds before retrying, up to 5 times.
CONTENTION(0,0)
disables the contention
retry feature.
You can specify a third optional positional parameter if you are using an alternate program to perform the delay. The third parameter can be used to specify the delay period directly in the format supported by the alternate delay program.
For example, if the alternate delay program had a format of HHMMSSTT,
a delay of 1 minute, with 2 retries would be specified CONTENTION(60,2,00010000)
.
The first two arguments are still required for diagnostic messages.
