Reconnect Properties of the Realm Connect Method

If the connect call cannot initially connect to the FTL server, it waits a period and tries again. The following properties characterize this reconnect behavior.

  • TIB_REALM_PROPERTY_DOUBLE_CONNECT_INTERVAL - The connect call waits this interval (in seconds) between connection attempts. The default value is 1.0 seconds.
  • TIB_REALM_PROPERTY_LONG_CONNECT_RETRIES - If the connect call cannot connect to the FTL server after this maximum number of connection attempts, it fails with an exception. The default value is retry forever (0).

The names of properties and constants vary slightly among the languages that the API supports.
