IBM implemented a standard interface to the allocation recovery process. One aspect of this implementation limits the number of times TPCF can automatically reply to a particular job step. The z/OS default for this value is 5. However, you can override this z/OS default value using either of the following SETOPTION commands:
SETOPTION AUTOREPLY SPECMAXNWAIT SETOPTION AUTOREPLY OFFLNMAXNWAIT
As long as CA MIA is active and managing your devices, the new value specified for these exit routines stays in effect. You can specify a value from 1 to 255, or you can specify UNLIMITED, so that TPCF never stops replying to recovery messages for a job step.
Note: The TPCF OFFLNMAXNWAIT and SPECMAXNWAIT parameters take effect (override the z/OS settings in SYS1.PARMLIB) regardless of the TPCF AUTOREPLY=ON/OFF setting. This gives you the option of an unlimited number of replies to allocation recovery messages when TPCF is replying (AUTOREPLY=ON) and when TPCF is not replying (AUTOREPLY=OFF). If a specific number of replies are preferred, then you may set TPCF OFFLNMAXNWAIT and SPECMAXNWAIT to a number from 1 to 255. This also takes effect regardless of the TPCF AUTOREPLY=ON/OFF setting.
The TPCF OFFLNMAXNWAIT and SPECMAXNWAIT parameters do not take effect if MIMINIT TPCF=OFF.
Note: For more information, see the CA MIM Statement and Command Reference Guide.
