Retry Timeout

Use this option to set the time in minutes that the interface will retry certain failed calls to the Data Archive server. After this timeout, the interface prints an error message and continues. The timeout applies to the following error messages for this version of the interface:

• If No Data value is received when the interface is looking for tag values

• Server error number is -15003, Server error description is Generic Item Not Found--when editing batch data

• Server error description is End Time Access Failed--while closing any of the batch objects

• Server error description is Batch ProcedureName access failed--when setting the Procedure Name

• Server error description is Insert failed--when inserting a PIUnitBatch in a PIBatch

All of the above errors typically occur when the Data Archive server is not accessible or if it is in a backup state. The errors are resolved with time but to avoid being stuck in an infinite number of retires, the timeout parameter can be used.

Select No Timeout if you do not want to use a timeout. This is the default setting.
