Server. If a redundant Server is not defined, ProcessLinx disconnects from the
primary Server and then reconnects to it. If a redundant Server is defined,
ProcessLinx attempts a connection to it. ProcessLinx attempts the connection
for the “Number of Retries” specified in the Utility

attempts to fail over to the first Server. This connection attempt / fail over
process continues until a successful connection has been established. Messages
for each failed attempt are logged to the ProcessLinx message pane and error
log.
