ADABCKTIMEOUT specifies the amount of time the CONNX Server will wait for the ADABCK utility on the target database to start accepting data before it times out and returns an error.

In some circumstances, ADABCK on the target may need to wait for some other process to complete before it can start accepting data from the source. An example of this would be if an initial state is being done on a very large source file and the target database needs to be expanded in order to accommodate the file. In this case, ADABCK must wait for the nucleus to finish expanding the database before it can start accepting data from the source.

The value for ADABCKTIMEOUT is specified in minutes and the default is 10.

ADABCKTIMEOUT is a CONNX Server environment variable and must be set in the connxserver script on the target system.

This setting is only valid on Unix and Linux systems.

ADABCKSLEEPTIME specifies the amount of time the CONNX Server will wait between retrying writes when it receives an error while writing data to the target pipe that the ADABCK utility is reading from.

While writing data to the target system, the CONNX Server may receive a response that the target is not yet ready to receive data. In this case, the server will wait for the time interval specified by ADABCKSLEEPTIME and then it will retry the write operation. It will continue to retry write operations until the timeout period specified by ADABCKTIMEOUT has been exceeded.

The value for ADABCKSLEEPTIME is specified in milliseconds and the default is 10.

ADABCKSLEEPTIME is a CONNX Server environment variable and must be set in the connxserver script on the target system.

This setting is only valid on Unix and Linux systems.
