Inactive Interval

The inactive interval is the amount of time the DC/UCF system permits a task to wait for a resource. When the inactive interval expires, the system abnormally terminates the task.

How You Define an Inactive Interval

Use the INACTIVE INTERVAL parameter of the system generation SYSTEM statement to specify the inactive interval or to disable the inactive-interval mechanism. You can use the STALL parameter of the DCMT VARY TIME command at runtime to override the system generation specification.

How to Override the Inactive Interval

You can override the inactive interval for individual tasks either during system generation by means of the INACTIVE INTERVAL parameter of the TASK statement or at runtime by means of the STALL parameter of the DCMT VARY TASK command.
