DNG ReqIF Export: Admin shall be able to configure ReqIF Timeout (Number of retries, interval) for ReqIF Export (Application side setting)

Description

New feature: Configurable ReqIF Timeout (Number of retries, interval) for ReqIF Export (Application side setting)

  • User shall be able to configure the following for DNG ReqIF Timout for ReqIF Export:

    • Number of retries

    • Interval of retries

  • It is not necessary to be able to configure this for each export, configuring for entire DB instance is sufficient (or Project Area, if IBM thinks that makes more sense)

Motivation / Reason

Current situation:

  • If a user tries to start a ReqIF Export B from a component while a different Export A is already running for this component, the following happens:

    • Export B is pseudo-queued, i.e. export tries to to start several times (20 retries, 5 second interval = 1min40sec)

    • Export B will only successfully retry / start if there are no other running exports for the component (e.g. Export A completed within 1min40sec)

    • After ReqIF Timeout has been reached (20 retries, 5 second interval = 1min40sec), Export B aborts stating that "timeout limit has been reached"

  • The number of retries and the interval of retries are not configurable, see https://www.ibm.com/mysupport/s/case/5000z00001TKDWsAAP

Reasoning for feature:

  • Real life observations have shown that an average export takes considerably more time than 1min40sec (in certain customer environments)

  • Thus, it is statistically very unlikely that a pseudo-queued export will actually be able to start (as it is far more likely that the other export is still running after 1min40sec)

  • Additionally, the second export trying to start every 5 seconds may put an unnecessary strain on the server

  • To be able to actually use the pseudo-queue feature for ReqIF Exports (i.e. a pseudo-queued export has a likely chance to actually start), the user shall be able to configure the ReqIF Timeout (e.g. ReqIF Timout: 20 retries, interval of 15 min)
