-Dcom.ibm.tools.attach.retry

Windows™ only

This option specifies the number of times the jcmd tool retries attaching to a running VM when the tool encounters the SocketException error.

Syntax

    -Dcom.ibm.tools.attach.retry=<number_of_retries>

The default value for <number_of_retries> is 3.

Explanation

When the jcmd tool sends a command to a running VM, the command might throw the Socket Exception error in case of issues, such as a network failure or a connection reset. Instead of failing the attaching request, you can specify the number of times the tool retries attaching to the target VM with the -Dcom.ibm.tools.attach.retry system property.
