Content Platform Engine, Version 5.2.1 Application server: WebSphere Application Server

Preparing for database failover support

You need to compare the default parameter values for database failover and determine whether to retain them.

If you enable it to do so, Configuration Manager automatically assigns default values to the database failover parameter values when it runs the tasks to configure JDBC data sources for the global configuration database and object stores.

The following table shows the default values that Configuration Manager assigns to the database failover parameters.

Table 1. Retries for new connections
Parameter	Value
Number of retries for new connections	100
Retry interval for new connections	3 seconds
Retry interval for existing connections	0 seconds

To determine whether to let Configuration Manager set these values, you need to compare these default values with the values that are optimized for your database cluster. If you enableConfiguration Manager to assign default values, you can still change them before you deploy Content Platform Engine.
