Is it possible to increase the retry interval of EJB Timer in WAS ? When I m getting a database timeout error, the Timer was keep retrying after every 30 seconds which I dont want to be like that.
See the "Retries and missed timeouts" section of the Creating timers using the EJB timer service for enterprise beans topic in the knowledge center. Specifically:
First retry attempt is immediate. Subsequent retry attempts occur on the configured scheduler poll interval for persistent timers, and on the configured retry interval for non-persistent timers.
See the EJB timer service settings and Configuring a timer service topics in the knowledge center for more information on configuring the poll interval and other timer service settings.
