Description
The ENQTIME parameter specifies the number of milliseconds waited for each automatic record locking retry wait.
ENQTIME can be between 1 and 60000, corresponding to a minimum of 1 millisecond and a maximum of 1 minute. The default value of ENQTIME is 3000 (3 seconds).
Usage notes
- If record locking conflicts occur frequently in a busy Online, it is recommended that you decrease ENQTIME from its default value, which is 3000 (3 seconds).
Using that default value, any user with a non-zero value for ENQRETRY will wait at least 3 seconds before the conflict is dealt with. This can degrade overall system performance.
For example, assume ENQRETRY is 7. If you reset ENQTIME to 100: After a record locking conflict occurs, the thread may retry 7 times with wait intervals of 1/10 second. So within at most 7/10 seconds, the lock becomes available, or the conflict triggers an On unit or cancels the request.
- The ENQTIME parameter may also be reset with $Resetn.
