Add a parameter for number of retry and wait when using : RECOVER function in JCLs

We use the TWS/OPC RECOVER cards to automaticly restart batch jobs in case of DB2 contentions and abend (DB2 code : -911) but have a limitation of usage because sometime the job must wait some time before to restart : 60 to 300 second (to let the other one locking DB2 tables to finish) and must be restarted several time : 1 to 5 to finish 

Is it possible to add two new parameters in RECOVER cards like : 

- RECWAIT=xxxx  : xxxx is second to wait before attempting restart

- RETRY=xxx number of time to retry recover 

 

It will be very helpfull to manage automatic abend recovery due to contention between batchs for DB2, VSAM, dataset or other contention that could resolved by restarting later and with several retries

 

Thanks
