This optional parameter causes network connect attempts for any node to continue for the specified number of times, waiting one minute between attempts. If a connection cannot be made within this many attempts, the utility will assume that it cannot connect to the node. This is most useful when nodes might have network resource constraints. A node connection will be retried only for errors that could be transient in nature (such as resource errors). Other errors will result in an immediate connect failure, and this count will be ignored. If not specified, the default is to try two connects to a node before going on to the the next node. If only one connect attempt should be made per node to speed up processing, use "RETRY=NONE". Example: collect config_01_23_90.dat retry=5 collect config_01_23_90.dat retry=no
