Input and Output Card Settings 
The Retry and the Backup settings appear on both input and output cards. 
Retry 
The Retry settings are defined for each input and output card. The Retry setting is 
compiled into the map, but may be overwritten by the execution settings defined 
in the Integration Flow Designer and the AdapterRetry (
-Y) execution command. 
If adapter errors occur (for example, failure to connect) and Retry > Switch = 
On, the adapter process is retried at the interval specified with the Interval value 
up to as many times as defined with the MaxAttempts setting. 
The Retry settings specify the number of times and the interval at which to 
attempt access an unavailable source or target. 
Define the Retry settings for each input (or output) card as required. 
Retry > Switch 
The Switch setting determines whether Retry for the specific adapter is ON or 
OFF. The default value of the Switch setting is OFF. 
Value Description 
OFF Retry is inactive. No attempt is made to access an unavailable 
source or target. 
ON Retry is active. Attempts are made to access an unavailable 
source or target for the number of attempts specified with 
MaxAttempts and at the time interval specified with 
Interval.
