DSConnectTries in IBM Patch...

[kaps]

We have received a patch from IBM for the Controller Problem for the below given error:

Controller problem: Error calling DSRunJob(edw_ctg_Rlplyr_Category_Rlship_trn), code=-14
[Timed out while waiting for an event]

In the README notes it says the following:

DSConnectTries
This is an environment variable to control the number of connection
tries that will be made by dsjob in the event that a connetion timeout
occurs while trying to connect to the server. A negative value will
result in an infinite number of retries. If the value is unset or is
set to 0 or a nonnumeric, then one connect attempt will be made.

DSConnectTries must be set as a shell environment variable
in the context of the dsjob command to be run.


I did not quite get the point of setting up this variable.

So do we need to go to the .profile file of the user which runs the job and add a variable like the one below.

DSConnectTries=-1

Please let me know the correct way if this is not correct.

Appreciate your help...

Thanks

I would expect that you would set this variable in the dsenv script.

(Windows users would set this variable using Control Panel > System > Environment.)

Thanks for the reply. I will give a try. If I am not wrong we don't need to bounce the service when you change values in dsenv file. Correct ?

Thanks

Only possibly but, because of that, it's usually a good idea.
