Specifying a timeout factor

Use the -T option to specify a timeout factor.

This argument specifies the amount of time the remote build server is to wait for a build script to return before stopping the build event. One situation that can cause a build script's completion to be delayed is when it is allocating a data set that is already in use. If this situation occurs, the remote build server waits until the timeout period expires for the data set to be released. If the data set is not released within the timeout period, the build event stops.

Syntax

–T timeout

timeout: Specifies the number of minutes that the server waits for an invoked build script to return before stopping the build event. The default is 10 minutes.

Example

Note: The examples in this topic are for illustrating command syntax. You need to substitute values appropriate to your site for the command parameters.

The following example sets a timeout factor of five minutes for starting the previous build request.

rccbuild –h os390@42310 –T 5 –ft rcccomp.jcl –i banner.cob –b rcccomp
