SET CLIENTACTDURATION (Set the duration period for the client action)

Use this command to specify the duration for the schedule that was defined with the DEFINE CLIENTACTION command. A client action defines a schedule that runs one time on a client.

The program deletes these event records whether or not the client has processed the schedule. However, the schedules are not deleted until after the first event records are deleted. The retention period for events defaults to 10 days at installation.

Parameters

days (Required)
Specifies the number of days during which the schedule for the client action is active. You can specify an integer from 0 to 999. The default is 5 days.

The number of days you specify determines how long the database retains the schedule before deletion. A value of 0 indicates that the schedule duration is indefinite, and the schedule and associations are not deleted from the database.

Example: Set a 15–day duration period for the client action

To specify that the schedule for the client action be active for 15 days issue the following command.
set clientactduration 15
