ES_CAT_RETRY_COUNT

Determines the amount of attempts made to open a catalog file that has produced an error when the initial attempt to open it was made.

Syntax:

ES_CAT_RETRY_COUNT=n

Parameters:

n
The number of attempts made to open a catalog file.

Properties:

Default: ES_CAT_RETRY_COUNT=0

Comments:

Use this variable in conjunction with the ES_CAT_RETRY_WAIT variable, which determines how long to wait in between each attempt.

Take care when setting these variables as they could impact the time taken to report an error and therefore will delay processing of a job whilst the checks take place. These variables can be useful if you experience file access problems (for example, network connection drop-outs) that only last a second or two, so that it gives the system a chance to recover, before aborting.
