MBD_REFRESH_TIME=seconds [min_refresh_time]
where min_refresh_time defines the minimum time (in seconds) that the child mbatchd will stay to handle queries.
Time interval, in seconds, when mbatchd will fork a new child mbatchd to service query requests to keep information sent back to clients updated. A child mbatchd processes query requests creating threads.
MBD_REFRESH_TIME applies only to UNIX platforms that support thread programming.
If MBD_REFRESH_TIME is < min_refresh_time, the child mbatchd exits at MBD_REFRESH_TIME even if the job changes status or a new job is submitted before MBD_REFRESH_TIME expires.
If MBD_REFRESH_TIME > min_refresh_time and no job changes status or a new job is submitted, the child mbatchd exits at MBD_REFRESH_TIME
The value of this parameter must be between 0 and 300. Any values specified out of this range are ignored, and the system default value is applied.
The bjobs command may not display up-to-date information if two consecutive query commands are issued before a child mbatchd expires because child mbatchd job information is not updated. If you use the bjobs command and do not get up-to-date information, you may need to decrease the value of this parameter. Note, however, that the lower the value of this parameter, the more you negatively affect performance.
