When a temporary network failure
occurs, application services try to reconnect to other application services for
the duration of the resilience timeout. You can configure the resilience
timeout for application services.
When an application service connects to
another application service in the domain, the service that initiates the
connection is a client of the other service.
You can configure
application service resilience timeouts for the following application services:
PowerCenter
Application Services
You can configure the resilience timeout and
resilience timeout limits in the advanced properties of the PowerCenter
Integration Service and PowerCenter Repository Service. The resilience timeout
for application services that connects to a PowerCenter Integration Service or
PowerCenter Repository Service is determined by one of the following values:
The service
Resilience
Timeout
property. You can configure the resilience timeout for the
service in the service properties. To disable resilience for a service, set the
resilience timeout to 0.
The domain
Resilience
Timeout
property. To use the resilience timeout configured for the
domain, set the resilience timeout for the service to blank.
The service
Limit on Resilience
Timeout
property. If the service limit on resilience timeout is
smaller than the resilience timeout for the connecting client, the client uses
the limit as the resilience timeout. To use the limit on resilience timeout
configured for the domain, set the service resilience limit to blank.
The domain
Limit on Resilience
Timeout
property. To use the resilience timeout configured for the
domain, set the limit on resilience timeout for the service to blank.
You can configure the resilience timeout for the SAP BW Service in the
general properties for the service. The SAP BW Service resilience timeout
property is called the
Retry
Period
.
A client cannot be
resilient to service interruptions if you disable the service in the
Administrator tool. If you disable the service process, the client is resilient
to the interruption in service.
