Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Server Retries: This sets the number of times the system attempts to allocate a step to a server before it gives up and fails. The server attempts to match all of the selected conditions. Server Wait Time: The Server Wait Time is no longer used. Server Usage Connect Timeout: This sets the maximum number of seconds after creating an agent connection that the Management Console waits for the connection to open before failing. If the connection receives a socket error, or fails the code before reaching this timeout, the connection still fails. Sets the timeout value for an existing connection to an agent: The agents are designed to contact the Management Console every 15 seconds. If no contact is made during a timeout period, the agent might have stopped or there might be network communication issues. The step fails if this value is exceeded.
