VMS Help  —  RMU72  Set  After Journal, Command Qualifiers, Shutdown Timeout
    Shutdown_Timeout=minutes

    Modifies the after-image journal shutdown time in the event that
    after-image journaling becomes unavailable. The after-image
    journaling shutdown time is the period, in minutes, between
    the point when after-image journaling becomes unavailable and
    the point when the database is shut down. During the after-
    image journaling shutdown period, all database update activity
    is stalled.

    If operator notification has been enabled, operator messages are
    broadcast to all enabled operator classes and to the RMU Show
    Statistics screen at 1-minute intervals.

    To recover from the after-image journaling shutdown state
    and to resume normal database operations, you must make an
    .aij file available for use. You can do this by backing up an
    existing modified journal, or, if you have a journal reservation
    available, by adding a new journal to the after-image journaling
    configuration. If you do not make a journal available before the
    after-image journal shutdown time expires, the database is shut
    down and all active database attaches are terminated.

    The after-image journaling shutdown period is only in effect when
    fixed-size AIJ journaling is used. When a single extensible .aij
    file is used, the default action is to shut down all database
    operations when the .aij file becomes unavailable.

    If you do not specify the Shutdown_Timeout qualifier, the
    database shuts down 60 minutes after the after-image journaling
    configuration becomes unavailable. The maximum value you can
    specify for the Shutdown_Timeout qualifier is 4320 minutes (3
    days).
