When specified in conjunction with the -fr option, this option specifies the delay between attempts to connect to the MobiLink server.

Syntax

qauagent -fd seconds ...

Default

• If you specify -fr and do not specify -fd, the delay is 0 (no delay between retry attempts).
• If you do not specify -fr, the default is no retry attempts.

Remarks

You must use this option with the qauagent -fr option. The -fr option specifies how many times to retry the connection to the primary server, and the -fd option specifies the delay between retry attempts.

This option is typically used when you specify failover MobiLink servers with the -x option. By default, when you set up a failover MobiLink server, the QAnywhere UltraLite Agent tries an alternate server immediately upon a failure to reach the primary server. You can use the -fr option to cause the QAnywhere UltraLite Agent to try the primary server again before going to the alternate server, and you can use the -fd option to specify the amount of time between retries of the primary server.

It is recommended that you set this option to 10 seconds or less.

You cannot use this option with the qauagent -xd option.
