          static final int GET_TRANSACTION_EVENTS_FROM_QUEUE_RETRIES

      Number of times to retry to get events for a transaction from the gateway sender queue when group-transaction-events is set to true. When group-transaction-events is set to true and a batch ready to be sent does not contain all the events for all the transactions to which the events belong, the gateway sender will try to get the missing events of the transactions from the queue to add them to the batch before sending it. If the missing events are not in the queue when the gateway sender tries to get them it will retry for a maximum of times equal to the value set in this parameter before delivering the batch without the missing events and logging an error. Setting this parameter to a very low value could cause that under heavy load and group-transaction-events set to true, batches are sent with incomplete transactions. Setting it to a high value could cause that under heavy load and group-transaction-events set to true, batches are held for some time before being sent.

    - #### GET_TRANSACTION_EVENTS_FROM_QUEUE_WAIT_TIME_MS

          static final int GET_TRANSACTION_EVENTS_FROM_QUEUE_WAIT_TIME_MS

      Milliseconds to wait before retrying to get events for a transaction from the gateway sender queue when group-transaction-events is true.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### start

          void start()

      Starts this GatewaySender. Once the GatewaySender is running, its configuration cannot be changed.

    - #### startWithCleanQueue

          void startWithCleanQueue()

      Starts this GatewaySender and discards previous queue content. Once the GatewaySender is running, its configuration cannot be changed.

    - #### stop

          void stop()

      Stops this GatewaySender. The scope of this operation is the VM on which it is invoked. In case the GatewaySender is parallel, the GatewaySender will be stopped on individual node where this API is called. If the GatewaySender is not parallel, then the GatewaySender will stop on this VM and the secondary GatewaySender will become primary and start dispatching events. The GatewaySender will wait for GatewaySender.MAXIMUM_SHUTDOWN_WAIT_TIME seconds before stopping itself. If the system property is set to -1 then it will wait until all the events are dispatched from the queue.
      See Also:
        `isParallel()`

    - #### pause

          void pause()

      Pauses the dispatching of the events from the underlying queue. It should be kept in mind that the events will still be getting queued into the queue. The scope of this operation is the VM on which it is invoked. In case the GatewaySender is parallel, the GatewaySender will be paused on individual node where this API is called and the GatewaySender on other VM's can still dispatch events. In case the GatewaySender is not parallel, and the running GatewaySender on which this API is invoked is not primary then PRIMARY GatewaySender will still continue dispatching events. The batch of events that are in the process of being dispatched are dispatched irrespective of the state of pause operation. We can expect maximum of one batch of events being received at the GatewayReceiver even after the GatewaySenders were paused.
