<h1 class="topictitle1">Uninterruptible power supply delay time system value (QUPSDLYTIM)</h1>
<div><p>QUPSDLYTIM is the system value for the Uninterruptible power supply
delay timer.</p>
<p>The value of QUPSDLYTIM controls the length of time that the system waits
before saving main storage and powering down the system. If utility power
is restored before the wait time ends, the system resets the timer. If the
wait time is exceeded, the system begins to save main storage and goes into
a controlled shutdown.</p>
<p>The three choices for the QUPSDLYTIM value are as follows:</p>
<ul><li>*BASIC or *CALC</li>
<li>A numeric value</li>
<li>*NOMAX.</li>
</ul>
<div class="p">The time that is specified by the QUPSDLYTIM system may be one of the following:
<ul><li>Infinite if QUPSDLYTIM is set to *NOMAX (must have a power-handling program).</li>
<li>A fixed internal delay if QUPSDLYTIM is set to *BASIC or *CALC.</li>
<li>An alternate value that is specified by QUPSDLYTIM. The value must be
a positive number, specifying seconds (zero means no delay).</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>If you set QUPSDLYTIM to *NOMAX, the following conditions must be met or
the system begins an immediate shut down:</p>
<ul><li>The message queue specified in the QUPSMSGQ system value must exist.</li>
<li>If the message queue is a workstation message queue (or QSYSOPR), it must
be in break or notify mode.</li>
<li>If the message queue is not a workstation message queue, it must be allocated
by a job.</li>
</ul>
<p>The figure displays these choices and their implications.</p>
<div class="fignone" id="rzahrdlytimco__dlytm"><a name="rzahrdlytimco__dlytm"><!-- --></a><span class="figcap">Figure 1. QUPSDLYTIM Values and Actions</span><br /><img src="rv4n350.gif" alt="Flowchart for QUPSDLYTIM values and actions" /><br /></div>
<p>The default value for QUPSDLYTIM is *CALC. Leaving QUPSDLYTIM set to *CALC
may defeat the purpose of having an uninterruptible power supply. *BASIC and
*CALC provide the same function in systems that are running V3R6 or later
releases of the operating system.</p>
<p>If QUPSDLYTIM is set to *BASIC or *CALC, the system will perform a controlled
shutdown after a fixed interval delay of 200 seconds. If you have an uninterruptible
power supply, you can specify a numeric value. </p>
<div class="section" id="rzahrdlytimco__QUPSDLYTIM"><a name="rzahrdlytimco__QUPSDLYTIM"><!-- --></a><h4 class="sectiontitle">Determining the Value of QUPSDLYTIM</h4><p>To
determine the value of QUPSDLYTIM you need to know the following:</p>
<ul><li>The hold-up time of your uninterruptible power supply at the given load
(the battery-rated time).</li>
<li>The amount of time it takes your system to save main storage and power
down.</li>
</ul>
<p>Available Battery Runtime</p>
<p>The available battery runtime is a
dynamic variable. Evaluate your system's available battery with these questions:</p>
<ul><li>Has the power been fluctuating?</li>
<li>Has the battery been previously discharged?</li>
<li>Is the battery fully charged?</li>
</ul>
<p>The actual battery runtime is a function of capacity. Even if the
battery is fully charged, it may not have 100% capacity. A typical battery
will lose 20% to 50% of its rated capacity in 4 to 5 years, depending on ambient
room temperatures. Elevated operating temperatures tend to increase the loss
of capacity. The actual battery runtime is also a function of the discharge
load. The more loads the uninterruptible power supplyserves the less time
it can sustain them. When the battery on the system falls below a specific
level of charge, the UPS will issue a weak battery condition signal. The Weak
battery condition signal from uninterruptible power supply affects the shutdown
mechanisms.</p>
<p>The time it takes to save main storage and power-down is
not an exact number. Save time depends on the number of changes in main storage
that have not been written to disk. The number of disk arms available is also
a factor; the more disk arms, the faster the system can write main storage
to disk. The system power-down will also depend on the number of jobs and
the average amount of time it takes to end them. Typically a job will be close
to an instruction boundary; however, some instructions are long running. The
following formula shows a worst case scenario in estimating the number of
minutes it will take to shut down a system:</p>
<pre> ((0.0554*(MS size in MB))/(# of disk arms)) + 1.6 = # of minutes</pre>
<p>Refer
to the following table for an estimate of time required to write main storage
to disk on your particular system. The typical amount of time required to
shut down a system will typically be a small percentage of this value.</p>
