IQTIMEOUT environment variable

Setting

IQTIMEOUT = nnn

Operating system

Optional but recommended in multiplex environments. For information on multiplex capability, see Using Sybase IQ Multiplex.

Description

The Sybase IQ Agent waits indefinitely for a process to complete. Setting a wait time is recommended when creating or synchronizing query servers for a multiplex with a very large catalog store. Large catalog stores extend the time needed for the dbbackup part of synchronization, and increasing the wait time accommodates a larger synchronize.

IQTIMEOUT overrides the default wait time of five minutes, and the argument nnn is the number of minutes for the Sybase IQ Agent to wait. For example:

NoteSet IQTIMEOUT before you invoke the agent startup option. See “Before you Install” and “Starting the Sybase IQ Agent” in the Installation and Configuration Guide and “Running the Sybase IQ Agent” in Introduction to Sybase IQ.
