TERL

Specifies the number of file allocation errors, VTAM errors, and retries during TCP/IP session establishment that CA XCOM Data Transport will allow before terminating the transfer.

0

Specifies that no errors are retried (regardless of the settings of FERL, SERL, or VERL).

1 to 32766

Specifies the total number of times that CA XCOM Data Transport attempts to correct errors.

32767

Specifies that errors are retried indefinitely.

Default: 32767

Notes:

• If the number of errors for a particular category of retryable errors (FERL, SERL, VERL) or any combination of such categories is equal to the value of TERL, CA XCOM Data Transport stops further retry attempts and fails the transfer. For example, suppose that TERL=10, FERL=6, SERL=6, and VERL=4. If CA XCOM Data Transport has retried file allocation 5 times and session establishment 5 times, the total error retry limit (TERL) has been reached. Therefore, CA XCOM Data Transport makes no further error retry attempts, although the individual error retry limits have not been reached.
• TERL=32767 (that is, indefinite number of error retries) does not override a value of FERL, SERL, or VERL that indicates a finite number of retries (such as any value greater than 0 but smaller than 255). For example, if TERL=32767 and SERL=5, CA XCOM Data Transport stops retrying session establishment errors after the fifth error has occurred, instead of continuing indefinitely.
