<div><p>Specifies whether or not recovery attempts are made and how many
attempts to take. (QCMNRCYLMT)</p>
<p><span class="uicontrol">Communications configuration recovery</span>, also known
as <span class="uicontrol">QCMNRCYLMT</span>, is a member of the performance category
of i5/OS™ system
values. You can use this system value to specify whether recovery attempts
are made and how many attempts to make. To learn more, keep reading.</p>

<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">What can I do with this system value?</h4><p>You may specify
whether to attempt to recover from a communications failure or not. If you
select to attempt to recover, you must specify the <span class="uicontrol">Number of recovery
attempts before sending message</span> and the <span class="uicontrol">Time interval</span> in
which the recovery attempts must occur.</p>
<p>If the number of recovery attempts
is exceeded within the specified time interval, an inquiry message will be
sent. The inquiry messages go to the configured message queue, which may be
the system operator message queue or some other message queue. Possible values
are 0 through 99.</p>
<p>If recovery attempts are made, but do not exceed the
number of recovery attempts within the specified time interval, the count
of recovery attempts is restarted when the time interval restarts.</p>
<p>If
your server is attached to a ROLM computerized branch exchange, the recovery
attempts value should never be 0. Recovery attempts are necessary for the
server to establish a connection using the ROLM CBX's inbound modem pool.</p>
<p>You
can specify the time period in which the recovery attempts can be done. If
recovery attempts have not been exceeded within the time interval, the count
of recovery attempts is also reset when the time interval is restarted. The
message is sent to the configured message queue, which may be the system operator
queue or a message queue specified on the configuration object. Possible values
are 0 through 120 minutes.</p>
<p>When using <span class="uicontrol">Communications configuration
recovery</span>, consider the following:</p>
<ul><li>If the number of attempts is greater than 0 and the time interval is equal
to 0, an infinite number of recovery attempts is made; this is not recommended
because of the system resources that may be used and because performance may
be affected.</li>
<li>If the connection between the iSeries and a personal computer using
APPC fails on a local area network (LAN) and the server attempts to recover
the connection, unnecessary work is placed on the system.<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> If automatic
communications error recovery is not used, manual recovery is necessary, which
requires operator intervention. A good compromise is to set the automatic
recovery limits to just one retry.</div>
<ul><li>Use a count limit of 0 and a time interval of more than 0 to turn off
second-level error recovery. Turning off second-level recovery may cause the
devices and controllers to go into recovery pending (RCYPND) state. A message
indicating that an operator intervention is required is sent to QSYSOPR, or
the configured message queue. Use manual recovery either to respond to the
message in QSYSOPR or the configured message queue, or to vary the objects
off and back on.<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> First-level error recovery is still done. On a LAN,
the Inactivity Timer is used to determine if the remote system is still available.
Once the inactivity time expires, first-level error recovery is driven by
the LANFRMRTY parameter and the LANRSPTMR parameter.</div>
</li>
<li>Write applications that can determine if a failure has occurred, and then
handle the errors. <ul><li>Monitor the error messages in QSYSOPR, or the configured message queue,
when they occur and handle the condition.</li>
<li>Monitor the status of the configuration objects by using the Retrieve
Configuration Status (QDCRCFGS) and List Configuration Descriptions (QDCLCFGD)
application program interfaces (APIs).</li>
</ul>
