Specifies that a network node which has been placed in a SLOWDOWN mode can now allow a maximum SLOWDOWN time to be set.

There are two allowed formats for coding start option SLOWVAL:
  • SLOWVAL=warn_time
  • SLOWVAL=(warn_time ,end_time)
warn_time
Specifies the amount of time a resource can be in SLOWDOWN before a warning message will be sent to the console stating that the resource has been in slowdown for set amount of time. The device can be automatically removed from SLOWDOWN after the specifiedend_time, or specify SLOWVAL=0 for an informational warning message whenever a device is in SLOWDOWN for a long period of time or if the device comes out of SLOWDOWN mode.
end_time
Specifies the amount of time a resource can be in SLOWDOWN mode before it is automatically taken out of SLOWDOWN mode by VTAM®. After a warning message has been issued, a new message will be displayed as soon as that resource is taken out of SLOWDOWN mode (whether VTAM-initiated or DEVICE- initiated). If end_time is specified, its value must be greater than or equal to the value specified for warn_time.
