MAXRETRIES = number of retries

This parameter specifies the maximum number of retries that is made to start a node-to-node session. If Sterling Connect:Direct® cannot start the session, any Processes destined for the secondary node are placed in the timer queue for retries (TI RE). After all retries are exhausted, they go into the HO WC (hold queue, waiting connection). The range for MAXRETRIES is from 0–512. The default is 7. For related information, see the WTRETRIES initialization parameter.
