Use this command to set the number of minutes the scheduler on a client node waits between retry attempts after a failed attempt to contact the server or after a scheduled command fails to process.
Each client can set its own retry period at the time its scheduler program is started. You can use this command to override the values specified by all clients that can connect with the server.
This command is used in conjunction with the SET MAXCMDRETRIES command to regulate the period of time and the number of retry attempts to run a failed command.
You can issue the QUERY STATUS command to display the value for the period between retries. At installation, Tivoli® Storage Manager allows each client to determine its own retry period.
Privilege class
To issue this command, you must have system privilege.
