Name 

Description 

Time To Wait Before Attempting Connection

The length of time (in milliseconds) the adapter waits before attempting to connect to the external system. 

Always Create New Connection

An indicator of whether the adapter always attempts to create a new connection when a connection establishment request is received. Select on of the following options: 

  • true – The adapter always attempts to create a new connection without attempting to match an existing connection.

  • false – The adapter attempts to match an existing connection (managed by the container).

Auto Reconnect Upon Matching Failure

An indicator or whether to attempt to reconnect automatically when the adapter gets a matching connection from a container, even though this connection is not valid; for example, the external side of the connection is closed or reset due to the external application’s logic. 

Select one of the following options:

  • true – The adapter discards the invalid matching connection and automatically attempts to reconnect using a new connection.

  • false – The adapter does not automatically attempt to reconnect using a new connection. Instead, the adapter defers the reconnect control to the user business rules. It is up to the business rules to detect this type of failure and act appropriately.

Max Connection Retry

The maximum number of times the adapter attempts to connect to a specific external TCP/IP destination (host/port) before giving up. 

Retry Connection Interval

The length of time (in milliseconds) the adapter waits between attempts to connect to a specific external TCP/IP destination (host or port).
