The syntax of the entry in that file is a single line with the string "rep_set_timeout", one or more whitespace characters, and the <b>which</b> parameter specified as a string and the timeout specified as two parts. For example, "rep_set_timeout DB_REP_CONNECTION_RETRY 15000000" specifies the connection retry timeout for 15 seconds.

The default wait time is 1 second.</ul> <b><a name="DB_REP_CHECKPOINT_DELAY">DB_REP_CHECKPOINT_DELAY</a></b><ul compact><li>Configure the amount of time a master site will delay between completing a checkpoint and writing a checkpoint record into the log. This delay allows clients to complete their own checkpoints before the master requires completion of them. The default is 30 seconds. If all databases in the environment, and the environment's transaction log, are configured to reside in memory (never preserved to disk), then, although checkpoints are still necessary, the delay is not useful and should be set to 0.</ul> <b><a name="DB_REP_CONNECTION_RETRY">DB_REP_CONNECTION_RETRY</a></b><ul compact><li>Configure the amount of time the replication manager will wait before trying to re-establish a connection to another site after a communication failure. The default wait time is 30 seconds.</ul> <b><a name="DB_REP_ELECTION_TIMEOUT">DB_REP_ELECTION_TIMEOUT</a></b><ul compact><li>The timeout period for an election.

When 0 (the default), no monitoring is performed. </ul> <b><a name="DB_REP_HEARTBEAT_SEND">DB_REP_HEARTBEAT_SEND</a></b><ul compact><li>The frequency at which the replication manager, running at a master site, broadcasts a heartbeat message in an otherwise idle system. When 0 (the default), no heartbeat messages will be sent.</ul> <b><a name="DB_REP_LEASE_TIMEOUT">DB_REP_LEASE_TIMEOUT</a></b><ul compact><li>Configure the amount of time a client grants its master lease to a master. When using master leases all sites in a replication group must use the same lease timeout value. There is no default value.
