TIMEOUT

Specifies in seconds the maximum duration of time that CA XCOM Data Transport waits for a TCP response before aborting a session with a TCP/IP partner for a TCP/IP dest member. Specifying a TIMEOUT=value in the DEST member for a TCP/IP partner activates a SELECT prior to the RECEIVE, which allows CA XCOM Data Transport to timeout.

1 to 99999

Specifies in seconds the length of time that CA XCOM Data Transport is to wait for a TCP response.

Default: The TIMEOUT value specified in the Default Options Table.

Notes:

• If the TIMEOUT parameter is specified for a SNA DEST member, it is accepted but ignored. SNA transfers will always use the TIMEOUT value specified in the Default Options Table.
• For TCP dest members, if the TIMEOUT limit is reached and no response was received from TCP, the transfer will be aborted. It will be subjected to the VERL retry rules if specified. Proper use of this parameter ensures that CA XCOM Data Transport does not hang indefinitely waiting for a TCP response.
• The TIMEOUT and TCPRTIME parameters are mutually exclusive.
