DC_START_CONNECT_RETRIES

This parameter is shipped in the Portal software and is listed in the Add Advanced Parameter window.

Valid Values: Numeric value (Default = 120).

Scope: This parameter can be configured at the Domain or Data Collector level, for an OS, or for a specific host.

Use this parameter to modify the connection attempts for a Data Collector to connect to the portal when starting the APTARE agent. The Data Collector attempts to connect to the portal for specified value times with 5 seconds of wait time between each attempt.

This might be necessary when Data Collector and Portal system both are re-started at almost same time.
