IQTIMEOUT Environment Variable

IQTIMEOUT overrides the default wait time of five minutes.

The argument nnn is the number of minutes for the Sybase IQ Agent to wait. For example:

To wait 45 minutes (Korn or Bourne shell):
```
IQTIMEOUT=45
export IQTIMEOUT
```
To wait an hour (C shell):
```
setenv IQTIMEOUT 60
```

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.

Note: Set IQTIMEOUT before you start the Sybase IQ Agent.

Setting

IQTIMEOUT = nnn

Operating System

Optional but recommended in multiplex environments. See Using Sybase IQ Multiplex.
