Maxcmdretries
The maxcmdretries option specifies the maximum number of times the client scheduler (on your workstation) attempts to process a scheduled command that fails.
The command retry starts only if the client scheduler has not yet backed up a file, never connected to the server, or failed before backing up a file. This option is only used when the scheduler is running.
Your Tivoli® Storage Manager administrator can also set this option. If your administrator specifies a value for this option, that value overrides what you specify in the client options file after your client node successfully contacts the server.
Supported Clients
This option is valid for all clients. The Tivoli Storage Manager API does not support this option. The server can also define this option.
Options File

system-options file (dsm.sys) within a server stanza. You
can set this option on the Scheduler tab, in
the Maximum command retries field of the Preferences
editor.
Place this option in the client
options file (dsm.opt). You can set this option on the Scheduler tab,
