Delivery Timeout


Type:	Eight-byte real number of C type T_REAL8
Default Value:	The message type delivery timeout is used. The message type delivery timeout default is `unknown` (no delivery timeout).
Valid Values:	Any real number 0 or greater, or `unknown`

The delivery timeout property identifies how long to wait for guaranteed delivery of a message sent from this process through a connection. The message delivery timeout property is used to override a connection delivery timeout property. To always be used, the message delivery timeout must be greater or equal to the server read timeout, set with the Server_Read_Timeout option.

Delivery timeouts are discussed in more detail in Chapter 4, Guaranteed Message Delivery.
