Description

The CONNECT_TIMEOUT option specifies how long a Universal Event Monitor Manager will wait for a connection to a remote Universal Broker to complete.

CONNECT_TIMEOUT is particularly helpful when more than one host is specified for the REMOTE_HOST option. By default, connection timeouts are controlled by the TCP/IP stack. Depending on this value, it may take several minutes to process a list of hosts before a connection actually succeeds. Setting a CONNECT_TIMEOUT value allows connection attempts to unreachable Universal Brokers to fail quickly, decreasing the time required to process a list of one or more hosts.

Note

CONNECT_TIMEOUT is most beneficial when set to a value that is less than the TCP/IP stack's default timeout, which is implementation dependent. A relatively small CONNECT_TIMEOUT value is recommended, to make sure it — and not the TCP/IP default — is applied.
