Secure Agent Resiliency
Tasks can continue to run during temporary network issues while the Secure Agent tries to reestablish a connection.
When a Secure Agent encounters network issues, two properties determine how the Secure Agent tries to reestablish a connection. You can set the following properties on the Edit Secure Agent page:
- •TunnelTimeoutPeriod. Determines the length of time that the Secure Agent tries to reestablish communication with Informatica Cloud. If communication is not established at the end of the time period, any tasks that were in progress stop running. The default value is 300 seconds.
- •TunnelRetryInterval. Determines the frequency with which the Secure Agent tries to contact Informatica Cloud within the specified timeout period. The default value is five seconds.
For example, with the default settings, if the network is down, the Secure Agent tries to reestablish communication with Informatica Cloud for 300 seconds. During the 300-second period, the Secure Agent tries to contact Informatica Cloud every five seconds. If the Secure Agent reestablishes communication within the 300-second period, tasks that are in progress are not affected. If the Secure Agent is unable to reestablish communication within the 300-second period, the Secure Agent stops all of the tasks that are in progress.
