Mainframe Enablers TimeFinder SnapVX and zDP 8.5 Product Guide

Controls the retry attempts when SRDF/A is not consistent.

When the suspend is attempted, it fails when any invalid tracks exist on any R1 device in the group (not just R1 devices that are related to devices being copied). If it fails and retry is allowed, a wait occurs until the current cycle trips. Then the suspend is attempted again. The number of retries is a real count, not a time value. If multiple SRDF/A groups are involved, all of them switch to a new cycle before the suspend is retried.

SRDFA_CONSISTENT_RETRY is only used if ACTIVATE with CONSISTENT(YES) is specified. Otherwise it is ignored.

The SRDFA_CONSISTENT_RETRY parameter can be specified on the ACTIVATE and GLOBAL commands. It has a matching site option &SRDFA_RETRY.
