OSFWAIT Parameter

This parameter sets the maximum time, in seconds, which a transaction can wait for input while in an OSF TSO server. CA OPS/MVS sets the server address space wait time limit based on the value of OSFWAIT. The operating system checks only every 100 seconds for any waiting address space that has exceeded the wait time limit. As a result, the exact time when an OSF TSO server is terminated is unpredictable.

Keep this information in mind when using any CA OPS/MVS command processors that use wait times, such as OPSCMD, OPSWAIT, and OPSWTO.

Default value

120 (seconds)

Other possible values

Any number of seconds between 1 and 604800 (7 days), inclusive
