The CLIENT_READ_TIMEOUT option in NetBackup monitors the idle time between the backup or restore application and the media server software. If the value of the option is exceeded (no data transfer between the client and media server), the job is automatically aborted. For a restore job, the value must account for the time it will take the client's arcmain to complete the build step of each table.
To override the current value in the Script Options screen, include nbutime=<Value> in the Extra Options field, where value is the number of seconds that the CLIENT_READ_TIMEOUT option will allow no activity before aborting the job.
The rules for entering this option are as follows:
- There cannot be spaces in the option. For example, nbutime = 30000 will fail.
- The value must be between 300 and 32767. All other values will fail.
After the job completes, the original CLIENT_READ_TIMEOUT value is automatically restored.
