Commrestartduration

The commrestartduration option specifies the maximum number of minutes you want the client to try to reconnect to the IBM Spectrum Protect server after a communication error occurs.

Note: A scheduled event continues if the client reconnects with the server before the commrestartduration value elapses, even if the startup window of the event has elapsed.

You can use the commrestartduration option and the commrestartinterval in busy or unstable network environments to decrease connection failures.
