Previously, the ICS does not fail events until the destination connector was started the first time if ControllerStoreAndForward property was set to “false”. Now, we introduce new connector specific property WaitForAgent. If ControllerStoreAndForward property is “false” and WaitForAgent for destination connector is “true”, ICS would not fail the events until the destination connector is started. If ControllerStoreAndForward and WaitForAgent are “false”, ICS will start to fail events immediately. Risks: In case of ICS recovery a lot of in-process events will be failed if ControllerStoreAndForward and WaitForAgent are “false”. All these events could be manually re-submitted. Yet, event sequencing will be lost during manual re-submission.
