Configuring automatic restart

On distributed platforms, the Launcher restarts automatically when it fails. This option can reduce downtime in production environments. You can configure how long and how many times the Launcher attempts to restart, or you can disable automatic restart. Automatic restart is not supported on Enterprise (USS) platforms.

  1. In the Options tab of Launcher Administration, select Restart.
  2. Click Enable Configuration to enable or disable automatic restart. Restart is enabled by default.
  3. In the Retry Attempts field, specify the maximum number of times the Launcher is to attempt to restart after a failure.

    The default value is two restart attempts. If the specified number of restart attempts has not occurred when the Retry timeout period elapses, the Launcher continues to retry until it reaches the specified number of attempts.

  4. In the Retry Timeout field, specify the maximum amount of time, in minutes, that the Launcher is to attempt to restart after a failure.

    The default value is 10 minutes. There are five minutes between each restart attempt.
