Specifying the Retry and Time Out parameters for ServiceMax activities
Specifying the Retry and Time Out parameters is one of the tasks you must complete to configure a ServiceMax activity. The ServiceMax Connector uses an HTTP 1.1 persistent connection over SSL to make all connections to the ServiceMax server. The ServiceMax connector compresses all data for requests and responses using the gzip format.
About this task
The ServiceMax connector uses a single login session for all connections to a ServiceMax endpoint. If a session expires, the connector automatically establishes a new session. The ServiceMax connector does not count the initial attempt to reacquire the session as a retry attempt. The ServiceMax 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 ServiceMax activity.
