Configuration database failover timeout
The configuration database failover timeout setting specifies how many seconds a secondary management server should wait before taking over as the primary when the primary server cannot be reached.
About this task
Increasing the timeout value allows for more time to reestablish communication, reducing the
possibility of the configuration becoming inconsistent with more than one server becoming primary.
Increasing the failover timeout period may be necessary if the network connection between the
management servers is not reliable or is prone to delays.
Note: Note: Change this advanced setting
with caution and only if necessary.

in your API Connect
cloud.Increasing the failover timeout reduces the high availability of the management servers in the cloud. (During the failover timeout period, the secondary management servers is not able to process updates if they cannot communicate with the primary server).
