UTILITY TIMEOUT field (UTIMOUT subsystem parameter)
The UTIMOUT subsystem parameter specifies how long, in number of resource values, that a utility or utility command is to wait for a resource. The utility or utility command waits until a lock or all claims on a resource of a particular claim class is released.
| Acceptable values: | 1–254 |
|---|---|
| Default: | 6 |
| Update: | option 34on panel DSNTIPB |
| DSNZPxxx: | DSN6SPRM UTIMOUT |
For example, if you use the default value of six, a utility can wait six times longer than an SQL application for a resource. This option allows utilities to wait longer than SQL applications to access a resource. For more information about setting the resource timeout for SQL applications, see the discussion of the RESOURCE TIMEOUT field on DSNTIPI.
The value of UTILITY TIMEOUT is used as the default value for the RETRY parameter of Db2 Utilities such as CHECK INDEX and online REBUILD INDEX.
