Statements/parameters for RECOVERY

LIMITED_RECTIME=ss
Specifies the time in seconds to be used for certain IOS recovery functions. Specify 0 seconds to disable the limited recovery time function. If the limited recovery time function is disabled, IOS continues to use it's pre-defined value to time the IOS recovery I/O requests. The limited recovery time function is disabled by default.

Value Range: 2-14 (seconds)

DEV=DASD|IOTIMING
Specifies the devices that exploits the limited recovery time function. Valid options are all DASD devices or only devices that have the IOTIMING facility enabled.
PATH_SCOPE={CU|DEVICE}
Specifies whether the scope of the path recovery is for all devices attached to the control unit (CU) or on a device-by-device basis (DEVICE).

Default: DEVICE

PATH_INTERVAL=nnn
Specifies the length of time to monitor for channel path errors in minutes. This keyword can only be used when PATH_SCOPE=CU is specified or when PATH_SCOPE=CU is the current value for the scope of the path recovery.

Value Range: 1-10 (minutes)

Default: 10

PATH_THRESHOLD=nnn
Specifies the minimum number of channel path-related errors that must occur every minute for the specified period of time (PATH_INTERVAL) before IOS takes action. This keyword can only be used when PATH_SCOPE=CU is specified or when PATH_SCOPE=CU is the current value for the scope of the path recovery.

Value Range: 1-100 (errors)

Default: 10

Start of changeDCCF=MESSAGE|WAIT_STATEEnd of change
Start of changeSpecifies the action that IOS-enabled interrupt processing will take when a no-paths or intervention-required condition occurs on a paging device. With the MESSAGE option, DCCF will be invoked to issue the IOS115A WTOR. With the WAIT_STATE option, a non-restartable wait state X'140' will be loaded.

IBM® recommends setting RECOVERY DCCF=WAIT_STATE in IECIOSxx to avoid the complexity of DCCF processing for the IOS115A WTOR message.

Default: MESSAGE
