Configuring JVM to initialize failed plug-ins

Content Manager provides JVM options that an administrator can set, which controls the reloading of failed plug-ins.

After the Content Navigator server is initialized, the first desktop that is loaded for the first time, loads and initializes all the registered plug-ins. Some of the plug-ins might fail. The administrator can set JVM options, which reloads failed plug-ins the next time a desktop is loaded.

The pluginInitAttempts option is the number of retry attempts that are made. The pluginInitInterval option is the interval (in seconds) between attempts. If you do not set a value for pluginInitInterval or enter a number less than 1, the interval is set to 600 seconds (10 minutes).

An example. The administrator sets the JVM options.

-Dsettings.navigator.default=pluginInitAttempts=10;pluginInitInterval=600

Ten plug-in initialization attempts are allowed and the interval between each attempt is 600 seconds. The desktop is loaded for the first time. The plug-ins are initialized and some might fail. The next time that any user loads a desktop, if the time between the desktop loads exceeds the pluginInitInterval interval, the failed plug-ins are reloaded. The plug-in reloads stop when the pluginInitAttempts value is reached or when all the failed plug-ins are loaded successfully.
