Timeout

The timeout determines in which time span a failed publication is repeated.

If a publication fails, it is checked whether the timout has elapsed since the start of the publication. If the timout is not elapsed the publication will be repeated.

For example:

A publication fails after 3 seconds. Because the Timeout is set to 5 seconds and hasn`t yet expired, the publication is repeated.

5 seconds Timeout – 3 seconds publication = 2 seconds left

If the second publication fails after another 3 seconds, it is not repeated, because the Timeout has expired.

5 seconds Timeout – 3 seconds 1. Publication – 3 seconds 2. Publication = -1 seconds left
