Failure #37660 [VBC 4.5]: Osagent is removing other remote osagents due to network problems.

Problem:

• Product Name: VisiBroker for C
• Product Version: 4.5 Full
• Product Component: osagent
• Platform Version: HP-UX 10.0
• JDK/Compiler Version: N.A.

Failure #37660 [VBC 4.5]: osagent is removing other remote osagents due to network problems.

Resolution:

Due to possible network traffic, the request that was sent from local to remote osagent did not reach the remote site in time, causing local agent to remove the remote osagent.

Some time later (about one and half minute), the remote osagent got the request and acknowledged back to the local osagent.

OSAGENT_MAX_RETRIES will be implemented on the osagent to resolve issues of this nature (See enhancement #30696). OSAGENT_MAX_RETRIES - valid range between 4 and 10 Typically, setting OSAGENT_MAX_RETRIES to 10 should resolve most of these issues.The default value of OSAGENT_MAX_RETRIES is 4. After timerExpired(), osagent will try another time using a timeout value.

This is implemented in VisiBroker 4.5 P 40.
