After you connect to a repository, the

CDI-PC Client

can maintain the connection when a temporary network or hardware failure occurs. The ability to maintain the connection is called resilience.

If you perform a

CDI-PC Client

action that requires a connection to the repository while the

CDI-PC Client

is trying to reestablish the connection, the

CDI-PC Client

prompts you to try the operation again after it reestablishes the connection. If the

CDI-PC Client

is unable to reestablish the connection during the resilience timeout period, the

CDI-PC Client

prompts you to reconnect to the repository manually.

The

CDI-PC Client

resilience timeout controls how long the client attempts to reconnect to the repository after the connection is interrupted. The

CDI-PC Client

resilience timeout is 180 seconds and is not configurable.

In the Designer, Workflow Manager, and Repository Manager, you can temporarily disable

CDI-PC Client

resilience to prevent the client from attempting to reestablish a repository connection during the resilience timeout period. If you do not want to wait for the resilience timeout to expire, cancel the automatic reconnection. Then, you need to manually connect to the repository again.

After the resilience timeout expires or you cancel the automatic reconnection, you must reconnect to the repository to save changes that you made before the repository connection failed.

To cancel automatic reconnection:
