Retry(n)' parameter with the 'run program' command

Postby Jorgen Amnestal » Tue Jun 09, 2009 2:38 pm

Hi

I'm curious about the 'retry(n)' parameter with the 'run program' command.
The manual implies it checks for DB2 up and/or batch connections, but will it help me solve a -911 abend for instance?

That would really be neat. ;)

Does anybody know, or should I do some testing?

best rgds

Jorgen

I don't think the RETRY(n) parameter will help in solving a -911, as this deals with the Thread Management, so refers to the number of users of in the DSN command. There may only be 2 users of the DSN command, so no retry will be attempted, and a deadlock could still occur between the 2 DSN batch users. If deadlocks are a problem for you then it's best that you deal with why they are occuring and sort that out.

Cheers

Hello,

The -911 might be a deadlock or a timeout.

Have you confirmed which it is?
Hope this helps,
