RetryCount
Summary Sets the maximum number of times to resend messages sent
with the request/response, unacknowledged/repeat, or
acknowledged messaging services. This also sets the retry
count for polling.
You can set the service type for a connection by writing to the
ServiceType property of the ConnectDescTemplate object.
•
If the acknowledged (lcaSvcAckd) or request/response
(lcaSvcRequest) service types are selected, the retry
count sets the number of retries to send when no
acknowledgment of (or response to) the original message
is received. You can set the interval for these retries by
writing to the TransmitTimer property of the
ConnectDescTemplate object.
• If the unacknowledged/repeat (lcaSvcUnackdRpt)
service type is selected, the retry count sets the number
of repeats to send for each network management
message. You can set the interval for the repeat
messages by writing to the RepeatTimer property of the
ConnectDescTemplate object.
Note: In the ConnectDescTemplate object, the value of this
property applies to all permanent monitor and control
messages sent by connections using that template. However,
to set the retry count for monitor and control messages for
temporary monitor sets, you need to use the DsRetryCount
property of the System object.
Availability Local, full, and lightweight clients.
