Auto Reconnect
The Auto Reconnect functionality ensures your Responder services remain connected to the geodatabase and the SDE process whenever possible. This functionality is enabled by default and requires configuration only to disable it.
Should an exception indicate that communication has failed between the Responder service and SDE and/or the geodatabase, the Responder service begins a loop to test for communication. Once communication is possible (i.e., the geodatabase is available or SDE has become available), the Responder service automatically connects without requiring interaction with the user.
Disable Auto Reconnect
You can disable the Auto Reconnect functionality by setting the following XML attribute to False. This setting appears in the configuration file for each Responder service: Miner.Responder.DataServices.exe.config, Miner.Responder.PredictionServices.exe.config, Miner.Responder.QueryWindowsService.exe.config. To disable the setting in Miner.Responder.ArchiveServices.exe.config, add the attribute to the appSettings section and set it to False.
