Data Set Options for Relational Databases 4 SLEEP= Data Set Option 371SLEEP= Data Set OptionSpecifies the number of minutes that MultiLoad waits before it retries logging in to Teradata.Default value: 6Valid in: DATA and PROC steps (when creating and appending to DBMS tables usingSAS/ACCESS software)DBMS support: TeradataSyntaxSLEEP=number-of-minutesSyntax Descriptionnumber-of-minutesthe number of minutes that MultiLoad waits before it retries logging on to Teradata.DetailsUse the SLEEP= data set option to indicate to MultiLoad how long to wait before itretries logging on to Teradata when the maximum number of utilities are alreadyrunning. (The maximum number of Teradata utilities that can run concurrently variesfrom 5 to 15, depending upon the database server setting.) The default value forSLEEP= is 6 minutes. The value that you specify for SLEEP must be greater than 0.Use SLEEP= with the TENACITY= data set option, which specifies the time in hoursthat MultiLoad must continue to try the logon operation. SLEEP= and TENACITY=function very much like the SLEEP and TENACITY run-time options of the nativeTeradata MultiLoad utility.See AlsoFor information about specifying how long to continue to retry a logon operation, seethe “TENACITY= Data Set Option” on page 372.“Maximizing Teradata Load Performance” on page 804“Using the TPT API” on page 807“MULTILOAD= Data Set Option” on page 342
