Add Timeout Configuration for ACE Node Startup

When the mqsistart command is issued for an ACE node, the command waits until all integration servers managed by the node completely start and are available. When we run this command on one of our integration nodes with 10 integration servers, the command does not finish as it times out waiting for all of the servers to start and it displays an error message that the component could not be started. Eventually the node and all integration servers start but the command would cause the startup script to fail and generate false pages to the administrators that there is a problem with the startup when there isn't. There needs to be a configuration available to alter the timeout for the command in order to ensure that everything is up and running.

    In more recent versions of ACEv11 and ACEv12, we now have a "-w" timeout option on the mqsistart command. Status updated to Delivered.

    RFE Review. Thank you for taking the time to raise this RFE, which we agree is a good suggestion for future enhancement. IIBv10 and ACEv11 differ slightly in their behaviour in that ACEv11 mqsistart command will not return until the integration servers have started and are ready to run, but IIBv10 returned before the servers were ready. In this sense, behaviour has improved, in that when the command returns you know things are ready. This said, providing the option for a timeout might be preferable for some users, and we certainly acknowledge we could do a better job with the reporting from the command. Status of the RFE is updated to Uncommitted Candidate.
