# Messaging Bridge: Configuration: Connection Retry

Configuration Options Related Tasks Related Topics

The source and target destinations for a messaging bridge will not always be available. A messaging bridge must be able to reconnect to the destination at some periodic interval.

Use this page to define the reconnection parameters for this messaging bridge.

#### Configuration Options

Name | Description
--- | ---
Minimum Delay | The minimum amount of time, in seconds, that a messaging bridge instance waits before it tries to reconnect to the source or target destination after a failure. Use with `ReconnectDelayMaximum` and `ReconnectDelayIncrease`. After the first failure to connect to a destination, the bridge instance waits for the number of seconds defined by `ReconnectDelayMinimum`. Each time a reconnect attempt fails, the bridge instance increases its waiting time by the number of seconds defined by `ReconnectDelayIncrease`. The maximum delay time is defined by `ReconnectDelayMaximum`. Once the waiting time is increased to the maximum value, the bridge instance stops increase its waiting time. Once the bridge instance successfully connects to the destination, the bridge instance resets its waiting time to the initial value defined by `ReconnectDelayMinimum`. MBean Attribute: `MessagingBridgeMBean.ReconnectDelayMinimum` Minimum value: `0` Maximum value: `2147483647`
Incremental Delay | The incremental delay time, in seconds, that a messaging bridge instance increases its waiting time between one failed reconnection attempt and the next retry. Use with `ReconnectDelayMinimum` and `ReconnectDelayMaximum`. After the first failure to connect to a destination, the bridge instance waits for the number of seconds defined by `ReconnectDelayMinimum`. Each time a reconnect attempt fails, the bridge instance increases its waiting time by the number of seconds defined by `ReconnectDelayIncrease`. The maximum delay time is defined by `ReconnectDelayMaximum`. Once the waiting time is increased to the maximum value, the bridge instance stops increase its waiting time. Once the bridge instance successfully connects to the destination, the bridge instance resets its waiting time to the initial value defined by `ReconnectDelayMinimum`. MBean Attribute: `MessagingBridgeMBean.ReconnectDelayIncrease` Minimum value: `0` Maximum value: `2147483647`
Maximum Delay | The longest time, in seconds, that a messaging bridge instance waits between one failed attempt to connect to the source or target, and the next retry. Use with `ReconnectDelayMinimum` and `ReconnectDelayIncrease`. After the first failure to connect to a destination, a bridge instance waits for the number of seconds defined by `ReconnectDelayMinimum`. Each time a reconnect attempt fails, the bridge instance increases its waiting time by the number of seconds defined by `ReconnectDelayIncrease`. The maximum delay time is defined by `ReconnectDelayMaximum`. Once the waiting time is increased to the maximum value, the bridge instance stops increase its waiting time. Once the bridge instance successfully connects to the destination, the bridge instance resets its waiting time to the initial value defined by `ReconnectDelayMinimum`. MBean Attribute: `MessagingBridgeMBean.ReconnectDelayMaximum` Minimum value: `0` Maximum value: `2147483647`
