IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

SET MAXCMDRETRIES (Set the maximum number of command retries)

Use this command to set the maximum number of times that a scheduler on a client node can retry a failed, scheduled command.

You can use the command to override the maximum number of retries that are specified by the client node. A client’s value is overridden only if the client is able to connect with the server.

This command is used with the SET RETRYPERIOD command to regulate the time and the number of retry attempts to rerun failed command.

You can issue the QUERY STATUS command to display the current retry value. At installation, Tivoli® Storage Manager is configured so that each client determines its own retry value.

Privilege class

To issue this command, you must have system privilege.
