NetBackup™ Administrator's Guide, Volume I

RESILIENT_RECONNECT_TIMEOUT

This value is the maximum time the primary server should wait for nbjm to reestablish connections with an active backup job after it encounters a network error. The time is specified in seconds. The default value is 600, or 10 minutes. The minimum value is 30 and the maximum value is 3600, or 1 hour.

Be aware of the relationship between RESILIENT_RECONNECT_TIMEOUT and RESILIENT_RETRY_INTERVAL. For example, if RESILIENT_RECONNECT_TIMEOUT is 10 minutes and RESILIENT_RETRY_INTERVAL is 2 minutes, the primary server attempts to reconnect to a backup job 5 times. If the primary server is unable to reconnect, the primary server ends the backup job.
