Some of my receiving service side applications usually work offline, and
they only are supposed to get connected to the network once/few times a day,
to send/receive Service Broker messages.

Will my sending service side application (permanent connected to the
network) keep retrying repeatedly to connect to the receiver?

- Is retrying like that time consuming?.

- I don't like it keeping trying over and over. Is retrying behavior
configurable?





thx

A longer answer is on the thread posted in
microsoft.public.sqlserver.programming.

The short answers are that the retries should not be time-consuming or a
performance issue, and they are not configurable, but do adjust to longer
intervals between retries if multiple retries do not succeed.

The basic retry mechanism is described in the "Message Acknowledgement"
section of the "Service Broker Communication Protocols" topic in the SQL
Server 2005 Books Online:
