Integration Server provides a queue fail-fast mode for loggers that use Universal Messaging queues. In queue fail-fast mode, loggers writes all entries to their internal queues rather than to their Universal Messaging queues. Loggers configured as readers pause their reader threads.

Integration Server enters queue fail-fast mode when Integration Server cannot connect to the Universal Messaging server at startup, or when the connection to the Universal Messaging server is lost after Integration Server has started running. Integration Server tries to reconnect to the Universal Messaging server. For a connection failure at startup, Integration Server tries to reconnect at the interval specified on watt.server.audit.um.sessionPool.retryInterval server configuration parameter. For instructions on setting the parameter, see .

After the connection is established or re-established, Integration Server exits fail-fast mode and the loggers resume logging. Reader loggers drain their internal queue by writing entries from the queues to the destination.
