Products

• ESP Workload Automation

Issue/Introduction

How can the XXCF timeout period be determined? It seems 300 seconds was used:

23.59.47 STC41683  ESP731I STARTING BACKUP OF HISTFILE HIST1
00.04.47 STC41683  ESP4346I XCF receiver ended, Service=ROUTING, Partner=ESPM

Environment

Release : 11.4 & 12.0

Component : CA ESP WORKLOAD AUTOMATION

Resolution

ESP uses its own timer and waits for acknowledgement from the peer.

On the low layer of XCF implementation it uses default timeout 60 seconds when waiting for the acknowledgement. This value can be changed by the XCF SET SERVICE command. However, the TRACKING, DSTRIG, ROUTING and SCOREBD services use hardcoded value 300 seconds when sending a message.
