Wait_Time

Wait Time

The Wait Time parameter defines the time (in seconds) the scheduler, application server, or web server wait before breaking the connection with an event server in an unknown state. That is, the scheduler, application server, or web server maintain and check connections with the databases, and if an event server is in an unknown state, the connection is broken after the specified time.

The following field on the Event Server - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window lets you define this parameter:

Wait Time

Defines the time (in seconds) the scheduler, application server, or web server waits before breaking the connection with an event server in an unknown state.

Default: 90

Notes:

The Wait Time field does not accept a negative value.
If you set the Wait Time parameter to 0 (zero), the scheduler, application server, or web server does not time out. They wait until the database responds. We do not recommend setting this parameter to 0 because the scheduler may stop responding.
On UNIX, the equivalent configuration parameter is DBLibWaitTime.

Typically, the database should never time out. However, if it does, CA Workload Automation AE tries to reconnect to the database the number of times specified in the Event Reconnect parameter. If the database connections are frequently timing out, it probably indicates a system or event server contention problem.
