ES_CAT_RETRY_WAIT

Determines the amount of time (in seconds) to wait between 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_WAIT=n

Parameters:

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

Properties:

Default: ES_CAT_RETRY_WAIT=0

Comments:

Use this variable in conjunction with the ES_CAT_RETRY_COUNT variable, which determines how many attempts to make to open a catalog file that initially failed to open.

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.
