Determining whether an activity entry is in a delay/retry cycle - assure_mimix - 10.0

This procedure allows you to check the status of an activity entry to determine whether MIMIX is attempting automatic delay retry cycles for the object.

1. From the Work with Data Groups display, type a 14 (Active objects) next to the data group you want and press Enter.

2. The Work with Data Group Activity display appears with a list of the objects that are actively being replicated.

3. Type a 12 (Work with Entries) next to the list entry for the object you want and press Enter. The Work with DG Activity Entries display appears with the list of activity entries for the object you selected.

4. To view additional details for an entry, type a 5 (Display) next to the activity entry you want and press Enter. The Display DG Activity Details display appears.

5. Check the value listed in the Waiting for retry field.

   The value *YES is displayed when the activity entry is undergoing automatic delay/retry processing. Delayed or failed activity entries and pending activity entries that are not in a delay retry cycle will always have a value of *NO.

6. When the value of the Waiting for retry field is *YES, the Delay/Retry Processing Information fields are also available and provide the following information:

   • The Retries attempted field identifies the number of times that MIMIX has attempted to process the activity entry.

   • The Retries remaining field identifies the remaining number of times that MIMIX can automatically attempt to retry the activity entry. MIMIX uses only as many of the remaining retry attempts as necessary to achieve a successful attempt.

   • The Delay interval (seconds) field identifies the number of seconds between the previous attempt and the next retry attempt.

   • The Timestamp of next attempt field identifies the approximate date and time that MIMIX will make the next attempt to process the activity entry. If object replication processes are busy processing other entries, there may be a delay between this time and when processing of this entry is actually attempted. The value *PENDING indicates that the time of the next attempt has passed and processing for the entry is waiting while other entries are being processed. This field is displayed only on the system of the process that is in delay/retry.
