Recall service settings

Use the HSM for Windows client GUI to define the recall service settings. You can set the number of concurrent connections to the Tivoli® Storage Manager and the time period for closing connections and deleting obsolete recall quota counters.

Access the Recall Service tab of the Preferences window by selecting Tools > Preferences > Recall Service.

Restriction: Change the value of Threads only when required by IBM® Software Support. The Threads value determines the maximum number of concurrent connections for the recall service. The default is 4 and the maximum is 64.

You can set the time to close an idle connection to the Tivoli Storage Manager. The default value is 600 seconds.

Note: If a file is recalled from a tape, the connection is reset to ensure that the tape is not locked after the recall.

You can change the frequency at which the view is refreshed in the Live Quotas window. The default value is 2 seconds.

You can set the interval to delete expired quota entries. To determine file recall quotas, the recall service creates a record for every file recall. Periodically, a collection routine runs to eliminate obsolete table entries. Running the collection routine frequently saves computer memory but requires more computer processing. The default value is 60 minutes. The minimum value is 10 minutes, and the maximum value is 10080 minutes.

The frequency of running the collection routine does not affect recall performance. The collection routine is not a performance tuning tool.
