Job status

Job status

Specify the frequency at which the
RunAJob utility
 polls for status in the
restenv.properties
 file.
You can use the following parameters:
Parameter
Description
ACTIVITYMONITORWAIT
Amount of time the utility waits before retrying if an internal exception occurs, such as a login failure or network problem.
Default is 5000 milliseconds.
TOTALWAIT
Maximum amount of time the utility waits for a job to complete before polling the activity monitor and activity log again for status.
Default is 5000 milliseconds.
RETRYCOUNT
Number of times the utility polls for status. Default is six. This parameter is used for polling the activity monitor and activity log for job status and for internal exceptions such as network failures.
Login failures are retried up to five times.
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
 adds 10 seconds between each API call to prevent server issues.
When you configure the
restenv.properties
 file to poll job status, consider the values you set for TOTALWAIT and RETRYCOUNT, and keep in mind the amount of time you expect a job to run.
For example, if you expect a job to run for approximately 25 minutes, you might set the the following parameters: 
TOTALWAIT=60000
RETRYCOUNT=30
With these settings, the utility polls the job status every 60 seconds up to 30 times with 10 seconds between each retry, which totals 35 minutes. If the job runs for more than 35 minutes, the command exits with return code 6, which means the job is running. The job continues to run in
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
.
When you configure the
restenv.properties
 file for internal exceptions, consider the values you set for ACTIVITYMONITOR and RETRYCOUNT.
For example, you might set the following parameters: 
ACTIVITYMONITORWAIT=5000
RETRYCOUNT=30
With these settings, if the network fails, the utility retries the login every five seconds up to five times with an additional 10 seconds between each retry.

We’d like to hear from you!

The explanation of the last configuration :


ACTIVITYMONITORWAIT=5000
RETRYCOUNT=30

With these settings, if the network fails, the utility retries the login every five seconds up to five times with an additional 10 seconds between each retry.

 

Is it five times or 30 times that it will retry ? Is is doc bug or it's as per designed ?
