ADEXL retry test

pdub

How do you control the "retry test" behaviour of ADEXL? Here's the problem...

A transient sim has a convergence failure near the end of the analysis and ADEXL (I think) is restarting the sim automatically. The original results would have been good enough but I can't view them because the new sim is overwriting them. On the second attempt the sim fails at the same point and this time ADEXL does not retry and I can view the results.

Any ideas much appreciated - pdub

    envSetVal("adexl.distribute" "numRetriesOnError" 'int 1)

    I can't remember whether it's sufficient to enter this in the CIW, or whether it must go into the .cdsinit as well (so that the child ICRP processes pick it up) - sorry, don't have time to test right now.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Thanks for your help. Using envGetVal the number of retries was set to 2 so that explains the behaviour.

     Regards, pdub.
