UTILITY TIMEOUT field (UTIMOUT subsystem parameter)
The UTIMOUT subsystem parameter specifies how long that a utility or utility command waits for a resource. That is, it specifies how long a utility or utility command waits until a lock or all claims on a resource of a particular claim class is released. The resulting wait time is the UTIMOUT value multiplied by the IRLMRWT subsystem parameter value.
| Acceptable values: | 1–254 |
|---|---|
| Default: | 6 |
| Update: | option 34on panel DSNTIPB |
| DSNZPxxx: | DSN6SPRM UTIMOUT |
For example, if you use the default value of 6, 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 (IRLMRWT subsystem parameter).
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.
