WaitForConnect

The WaitForConnect connection attribute specifies that the connection attempt should wait if an immediate connection is not possible.

When an application requests a connection to a TimesTen database and the connection is not possible (perhaps during concurrent loading/recovery of a database), TimesTen usually waits for completion of the conflicting connection. In some cases, it can take some time for an application to connect to a database. If the WaitForConnect attribute is off and the database is not immediately accessible, TimesTen returns immediately an error. For a description of the error, look for the error message number in Errors and Warnings in Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Error Messages and SNMP Traps.
