OPENPOLL Statement

OPENPOLL Statement

The OPENPOLL statement number of passes the PowerExchange Listener makes in its main polling loop while waiting for an open request for a tape data set to complete on z/OS. The statement adjusts the wait time when the PowerExchange Listener encounters tape mount delays on z/OS. Use this statement to relieve constraints on other workflows when the availability of tape data sets or devices cannot be guaranteed.
PowerExchange uses this value in conjunction with the POLLTIME value to calculate a time limit that determines how long the PowerExchange Listener waits for an open request on a tape data set before canceling the request and ending the task.

number
The range for the OPENPOLL value is 5 - 10000. The value represents the number passes through the PowerExchange Listener polling loop. To calculate the time limit, the OPENPOLL value is multiplied by the POLLTIME value. For example, if you set OPENPOLL to 60 and POLLTIME to 1000 milliseconds, the time limit is approximately 60000 milliseconds, or 1 minute.
Default is 0, which causes no requests to be canceled.
