Re: mntr.retryValue in admin.properties file for WebSphere 3.5

If the admin server (QEJBADMIN) fails to start, the monitor job (QEJBMNTR)
will attempt to restart it the specified number of times (mntr.retryVlaue
property value times).  The reason to set it to 0 is to let it fail the
first time and then figure out what the problem is. Having it set to 10 (or
> 0) masks the problem, and it is possible that the admin server
(QEJBADMIN) will come up and stay up but that the admin repository
(collection EJSADMIN) will not have been setup correctly.  If it took 40
minutes for it to fail when set to 0, I would say you are on a grossly
underpowered system for WebSphere, or that you have a large amount of
interactive job activity going on.

Subject:  mntr.retryValue in admin.properties file for WebSphere 3.5



Hi

When I changed the mntr.retryValue in the
admin.properties file from 10 to 0 as
recommended in the "Additional configuration for systems
that do not meet the recommended hardware
configuration" section of the WebSphere 3.5 documentation,
my application servers failed after about forty minutes.
It took me two days and about twenty restarts
to figure out the problem. I set it
back to 10 and the application server has be up
for 12 hours now.

What does the mntr.retryValue setting actually
do?


Thanx, PLA
