If the client session reconnects to the engine during the timeout period, the sessions
are restored depending on the value of the session’s reconnect action property (set
using the control parameter to WFEngine.OpenSession or WFSession.SetControl).
If the client session fails to reconnect, the sessions are suspended or terminated,
according to the specification in the engine configuration.
If failover occurs (the partner engine unit comes ONLINE) within the auto
reconnect timeout period, the client attempts to restore the sessions according to
the value of the session’s reconnect action property.
If the reconnect action property is set to RECONNECT_ALLOWED, then the
session is restored to ACTIVE state. If the reconnect action property is set to
RECONNECT_PROHIBITED, the session is not restored.
Session disconnect and reconnect parameters are summarized in the table below.
When the client API auto-reconnect mechanism attempts to restore a suspended
session to an ACTIVE state, it passes the user name, password, and session name to
the engine that was used in establishing the original session. (The client API stores
this information.) The engine uses this information to confirm which suspended
session should be restored to ACTIVE and whether the reconnection is allowed.
Session Property Value Description
disconnect action SUSPEND Engine suspends session if it finds a
disruption in the connection between
it and the client application.
TERMINATE Engine terminates session if it finds a
disruption in the connection between
it and the client application.
reconnect action RECONNECT_ALLOWED Allows client API code or a client
application to restore a suspended
session to ACTIVE state.
RECONNECT_PROHIBITED Prohibits client API code or a client
application from restoring a
suspended session to ACTIVE state.
A new session must be created to
replace the suspended session.
