Connection Retry Attempts (-ct)
Use Connection Retry Attempts (-ct) to
define the number of retries for a client-server database connection attempt.
| Operating system and syntax | UNIX / Windows |
-ct
n

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Use with | Maximum value | Minimum value | Single-user default | Multi-user default |
| Client Connection | - | 0 | - | 50 |
- n
- The number of database connection retry attempts allowed. The default is 50. If you specify 0, then no connection retries are made.
Note: Retry Connect Set (-retryConnect) controls the number of connection retry
attempts for a database connection set, consisting of the primary database, one or two
alternates (specified by
-dbalt1 and -dbalt2), or an OpenEdge
replication primary target database (if Auto Reconnect (-autoReconnect)
is specified). If using -retryConnect you may want to lower
the value for the -ct parameter, or set it to 0.
