# Messaging Bridge --> Configuration --> Connection Retry

Tasks Related Topics Attributes

## Overview

This tab defines connection retry configuration attributes for a messaging bridge. The source and target destinations for a messaging bridge will not always be available. Therefore, the messaging bridge must be able to reconnect to the destination at some periodic interval. These attributes govern the time between reconnection attempts.

## Tasks

Modifying an Existing Messaging Bridge Instance

Targeting a Messaging Bridge to a Server, a Cluster, or a Migratable Target

## Attributes

Table 96-1

Attribute Label | Description | Value Constraints
--- | --- | ---
Minimum Delay (seconds) | The minimum amount of time, in seconds, that the messaging bridge will wait before it tries to reconnect to the source or target destination after a failure. This attribute works with the `Maximum Delay` and `Incremental Delay` attributes. After the first failure to connect to a destination, the bridge will wait for the number of seconds defined by `Minimum Delay`. If the second trial also fails, it will increase its waiting time by the number of seconds defined by `Incremental Delay`. The maximum delay time is defined by `Maximum Delay`. Once the waiting time is increased to the maximum value, the bridge will not increase its waiting time anymore. Once the bridge successfully connects to the destination, its waiting time will be reset to the initial value defined by `Minimum Delay`. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. MessagingBridgeMBean` Attribute: `ReconnectDelayMinimum` | Minimum: 0 Maximum: 2147483647 Default: 15 Dynamic: yes
Incremental Delay (seconds) | The incremental delay time, in seconds, that the messaging bridge will wait longer between one failed reconnection attempt and the next retry. This attribute works with the `Minimum Delay` and `Maximum Delay` attributes. After the first failure to connect to a destination, the bridge will wait for the number of seconds defined by `Minimum Delay`. Each time a reconnect attempt fails, the bridge will increase its waiting time by the number of seconds defined by `Incremental Delay`. The maximum delay time is defined by `Maximum Delay`. Once the waiting time is increased to the maximum value, the bridge will not increase its waiting time anymore. Once the bridge successfully connects to the destination, its waiting time will be reset to the minimum value defined by `Minimum Delay`. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. MessagingBridgeMBean` Attribute: `ReconnectDelayIncrease` | Minimum: 0 Maximum: 2147483647 Default: 5 Dynamic: yes
Maximum Delay (seconds) | The longest time, in seconds, that the messaging bridge will wait between one failed attempt to reconnect to the source or target and the next retry. This attribute works with the `Minimum Delay` and `Incremental Delay` attributes. After the first failure to connect to a destination, the bridge will wait for the number of seconds defined by `Minimum Delay`. Each time a reconnect attempt fails, the bridge will increase its waiting time by the number of seconds defined by `Incremental Delay`. The maximum delay time is defined by `Maximum Delay`. Once the waiting time is increased to the maximum value, the bridge will not increase its waiting time anymore. Once the bridge successfully connects to the destination, its waiting time will be reset to the initial value defined by `Minimum Delay`. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. MessagingBridgeMBean` Attribute: `ReconnectDelayMaximum` | Minimum: 0 Maximum: 2147483647 Default: 60 Dynamic: yes
