Configuring wait time for remote command completion

On the TPF Toolkit preference page, you can configure the time to wait before TPF Toolkit starts reading a response to a remote command.

About this task

Your administrator might have set a default wait time for your TPF Toolkit. In that case, if you open the TPF Toolkit preference page, the page is completed with the default value. You can change the default value to suit your needs.

Procedure

  1. Click Window > Preferences > TPF Toolkit to open the TPF Toolkit preference page.
  2. In the Wait time for remote command completion field, enter a number in seconds.
    In some circumstances, TPF Toolkit might not detect the exit of remote command processing even though processing was completed successfully. You can specify the wait time in this field for the remote command to exit.

    The default value is 1. Keep this value as low as possible to avoid unnecessary delay in handling remote command responses.

    If the remote command does not exit within the specified wait time, TPF Toolkit begins reading any response that is received from the remote command. If the remote process is still running but does not respond, for example, if the remote system is busy or network conditions cause a delay in the response, you might need to increase this wait time.

  3. Click Apply and Close to save your changes.
