Description

The JOB_RETENTION option specifies the default number of seconds that a disconnected UCMD Server running with network fault tolerance (see the NETWORK_FAULT_TOLERANT option) waits for a reconnection request from the Manager after the user process has completed.

This situation occurs when the network connection between the UCMD Manager and UCMD Server is lost. Since the UCMD Server is using network fault tolerance, it waits for the UCMD Manager to reestablish the network connections. If the user process ends while the UCMD Server and UCMD Manager are disconnected, JOB_RETENTION specifies how long the UCMD Server should wait for the UCMD Manager to reconnect before it ends. When it ends, the UCMD Manager cannot reconnect.

Note

This option overrides the UCMD Server JOB_RETENTION option.
