Specifying the Retry and Time Out parameters is one of the tasks you must complete to configure a Salesforce.com activity. The Salesforce.com Connector uses an HTTP 1.1 persistent connection over SSL to make all connections to the Salesforce.com server. The Salesforce.com connector compresses all data for requests and responses using the gzip format.
The Salesforce.com connector uses a single login session for all connections to a Salesforce.com endpoint. If a session expires, the connector automatically establishes a new session. The Salesforce.com connector does not count the initial attempt to reacquire the session as a retry attempt. The Salesforce.com connector assumes the typical connector retry behavior after the initial attempt to reacquire a session fails.
For more information about the configuration tasks in the Checklist, see the help topic for the specific Salesforce.com activity.
