MAXHOLD

Syntax

MAXHOLD=nnn

Description

This parameter specifies the maximum length of time (in hundredths of a second) a member of a Multi-Access Spool (MAS) configuration maintains control of the shared queues after gaining control of them.

If work is pending when control over the shared queues is obtained, or if a checkpoint request is received during the MINHOLD interval, the shared queues are held in the specified MAXHOLD interval, else the shared queues are held in the specified MINHOLD interval. Therefore, members that are busy hold the shared queues longer than members that are not busy.

The lower limit is 1 and the upper limit is 6000. The default value is 10 (0.1 second)
