Set the Frequency of Dispatcher Status Scans

You can specify how often dispatchers are scanned to determine their current status for failover purposes.

Use the following parameters:

  • ConnectionCheckingSleepTime

    Specifies, in seconds, the interval between scans for the state of dispatchers.

    Valid settings are 1 to 2147483647. Settings less than 5 may consume too many resources (CPU time and network bandwidth). The default setting is 30.

  • ConnectionCheckingQuickSleepTime

    Specifies, in seconds, the interval between scans when no operational dispatchers are found. This value of this parameter must be less than ConnectionCheckingSleepTime.

    Valid settings are 1 to 2147483647. Settings less than 5 may consume too many resources (CPU time and network bandwidth). The default setting is 5.

Procedure
