Specifying the amount of inactive time before a timeout

You can specify how long your system waits for suspended processes.

Procedure

To specify the minimum number of seconds before a timeout can occur:

Specify a value for the IRLMRWT subsystem parameter (the RESOURCE TIMEOUT field on installation panel DSNTIPI).
A small value can cause a large number of timeouts. With a larger value, suspended processes more often resume normally, but they remain inactive for longer periods. The default value is 30 seconds.
  • If you can allow a suspended process to remain inactive for 30 seconds, use the defaults for both RESOURCE TIMEOUT and DEADLOCK TIME.
  • If you specify a different a different inactive period, consider how Db2 calculates the wait time for timeouts.
