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.
