Registration retry (in seconds) After registering with its controlling NameServer,
the AppServer periodically sends "keep-alive"
messages to the NameServer to let the
NameServer know that it is still active. The
Registration retry value is the number of seconds
that pass between "keep-alive" messages.
The default is 30.

Property Description
Specifies the amount of time, in seconds, that the
broker waits for an active agent to become
available before starting a new agent process.
The default is 3.
You can update this property dynamically. Any
changes will affect only new agents that start after
the property value has change; existing (running)
brokers and agents are not updated.
Specifies the amount of time, in seconds, that the
broker will wait for an agent to become available
for processing a request.
The broker waits for this period only if the
Maximum servers setting has been reached. After
the timeout has expired, the client receives a "no
servers available" error message.
The default is 15.
You can update this property dynamically. Any
changes will affect all current and new brokers
and/or agents.
The amount of time, in seconds, that the broker
waits before automatically trimming the number
of running agents.
The broker keeps track of the maximum number of
agents that are simultaneously busy during the
interval you specify. At the end of the interval, the
broker attempts to trim the number of agents to
match the Maximum servers for the interval, or
the Minimum servers, whichever is greater.
You can disable this feature by setting the timeout
to zero (0). The default Server Auto-trim
Interval is 1800 seconds.
Progress Software recommends that you use this
default setting to avoid unnecessary process
management that might result from frequent
starting and trimming of agents.
You can update this property dynamically. Any
changes will affect all current and new brokers
and/or agents.
