InitiateTimeout = 15000
If a connection establishment job cannot be
processed within the InitiateTimeout time, the
connection is reset and the job is started again.
Particularly when establishing connections using
DCOM from Microsoft, wait times of several
minutes can occur if the partner does not exist or if
the connection has broken down. During this time,
further actions on the connection are blocked
because the access is synchronous. This wait time
can be reduced with this parameter.
