VSID_RETRY_LIMIT (VST_RETRY_LIMIT) The number of times the API software retries
for command status from VolServ before
returning a time-out to the client software for
Move commands. VSID_RETRY_LIMIT is not
applicable when the API software executes in
asynchronous mode. The default retry limit is
3.
VSID_STATUS_WAIT_FLAG
(VST_STATUS_WAIT_FLAG)
A flag indicating whether the API software
waits for final status from VolServ (or
times-out) for Move commands. Valid options
are VSE_TRUE (API software waits for final
status) and VSE_FALSE (API software does
not wait for final status). Also determines
whether the API software operates in
synchronous mode (VSE_TRUE) or in
asynchronous mode (VSE_FALSE). The
default VSID_STATUS_WAIT_FLAG value is
VSE_TRUE.
VSID_TARGET_ARCHIVE_NAME
(VST_ARCHIVE_NAME)

media are moved. Valid archive names may
contain up to 16 alphanumeric characters,
including spaces. Leading and trailing spaces
are not permitted.
VSID_TIMEOUT_VALUE (VST_TIME_OUT) The amount of time (in seconds) the API
software waits for status from VolServ before
returning a time-out to the client software. The
default time-out value is 120 seconds.
VSID_USER_FIELD (VST_USER_FIELD) The value to put in USER_FIELD for Move
commands. USER_FIELD is a 16-character
field provided for user information. Information
entered in this field is echoed back to the user
in every status message returned for Move
commands. Neither the API software nor
VolServ uses USER_FIELD.
