6.33 COORDTIMER

Valid For

Replicat in coordinated mode

Description

Use the COORDTIMER parameter to set a base amount of time, in seconds, that the threads and coordinator wait for each other to start. A thread will wait for this base time interval before retrying a connection to the coordinator and it will do this a certain number of times. The coordinator waits for the length of this base time interval and it is reset after every thread is successfully registered. The overall time the coordinator waits before abending is dependent on this timer and it is variable depending on the register time of the threads.

A value of 0 disables this timing procedure. If timing is disabled, the coordinator thread may wait indefinitely for the threads to start, and Replicat will enter a suspended state. In this case, the internal Replicat heartbeat timer is disabled regardless of the COORDSTATINTERVAL setting.

Default

The minimum value is 0; the maximum value is 2147483647. The default value is 180 seconds (three minutes)
