6.2.14 Changing the timeout value for the job execution control manager process

When the job execution control manager process is requested to perform any of the following operations, the timeout period (default: 10 minutes) for communication with the manager process is set by the requester:

• Registration, cancellation, or status checking of a job by the scheduler

• Performing an operation on a job by using a job execution command (jpqxxxx)

If communication with the job execution control manager process takes too much time and a timeout occurs, job execution or the command request fails.

The major causes of a communication timeout are as follows:

• The size of the transfer files or result files for the executed job is large.

• Many jobs are listed by the jpqendjobshow command, which lists information about terminated jobs.

  For details about the jpqendjobshow command, see jpqendjobshow in 4. Commands Used for Special Operation in the manual JP1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Command Reference.

• Many jobs are listed by the jpqjobshow command, which lists information about jobs that have not terminated yet.

  For details about the jpqjobshow command, see jpqjobshow in 4. Commands Used for Special Operation in the manual JP1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Command Reference.

If communication times out while the scheduler is registering or canceling a job or checking the status of a job, the job^# ends abnormally, and the following message is output to the integrated trace log:

#:

Event jobs and jobs for which Queueless Agent is specified for Exec. Service are exceptions.

KAVU0220-E function-name: There is no response from the manager.

If communication times out during processing of a jpqxxxx command, the following message is output:

KAVU0953-E No response from the manager.

You might be able to prevent a command request or job execution failure due to a communication timeout by increasing the communication timeout value. If communication times out while the scheduler is registering or canceling a job, or checking the status of a job, increase the timeout value on the manager host. If communication times out while the command that is used to execute a job is being executed, increase the timeout value on the client host where the command is executed.

The following describes how to change the communication timeout value.
