the number of minutes to wait before trying again to acquire a Teradata utility slot.
Use this option to indicate to FastExport, FastLoad, or MultiLoad how long to wait before trying to log on to Teradata again when the maximum number of utilities are already running. (The maximum number of Teradata utilities that can run concurrently varies from 5 to 15, depending on database settings.) The default value for SLEEP= is 6 minutes. The value that you specify for SLEEP= must be greater than 0.
Use SLEEP= with TENACITY=. TENACITY= specifies the time in hours that FastExport, FastLoad, or MultiLoad must continue to try the logon operation.
