    Hi,

     

    It sounds like you got this working with the delay.

     

    The timeouts are for long-running calls, or calls that take too long.  Either based on calling app or a requirement.  E.g. all calls within 10secs.

     

    The timeout won't help in this case as the server is rebooting.  E.g. is not there or refused because the server is still coming up.

     

    The timeout is not a retry until success.

     

    However, you could loop the call until it does return a success though.  At least then you don't have the full minute delay whilst waiting for the reboot.  Only have to wait for as long as it takes the server to come up.
