Set the wait time for a response from the primary serverYou can use two environment variables, IFX_SMX_TIMEOUT and IFX_SMX_TIMEOUT_RETRY, to manipulate the amount of time that a high-availability replication (HDR), remote stand-alone (RS) or shared disk (SD) secondary server waits for a response from the primary server.

Set the wait time for a response from the primary server

You can use two environment variables, IFX_SMX_TIMEOUT and IFX_SMX_TIMEOUT_RETRY, to manipulate the amount of time that a high-availability replication (HDR), remote stand-alone (RS) or shared disk (SD) secondary server waits for a response from the primary server.

Use:

The IFX_SMX_TIMEOUT environment variable to specify the maximum number of seconds for a secondary server to wait for a message from the primary server.
The IFX_SMX_TIMEOUT_RETRY environment variable to specify the number of times that the secondary server repeats the wait cycle specified by the IFX_SMX_TIMEOUT environment variable if a response from the primary server has not been received.
