    #include <db_cxx.h>

    int
    DbEnv::rep_set_timeout(int which, u_int32_t timeout);

    int
    DbEnv::rep_get_timeout(int which, u_int32_t *timeoutp);

### Description: DbEnv::rep_set_timeout

The DbEnv::rep_set_timeout method specifies a variety of replication timeout values.

The DbEnv::rep_set_timeout method configures a database environment, not only operations performed using the specified DbEnv handle.

The DbEnv::rep_set_timeout method may be called at any time during the life of the application.

The DbEnv::rep_set_timeout method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on failure, and returns 0 on success.

### Parameters

which
  The which parameter must be set to one of the following values:
  DB_REP_ACK_TIMEOUT
    Configure the amount of time the replication manager's transport function waits to collect enough acknowledgments from replication group clients, before giving up and returning a failure indication. The default wait time is 1 second.
  DB_REP_CHECKPOINT_DELAY
    Configure the amount of time the replication manager will delay between completing a checkpoint and writing a checkpoint record into the log. This delay allows clients to complete their own checkpoints before the master requires completion of them. The default is 30 seconds.
  DB_REP_CONNECTION_RETRY
    Configure the amount of time the replication manager will wait before trying to re-establish a connection to another site after a communication failure. The default wait time is 30 seconds.
  DB_REP_ELECTION_TIMEOUT
    The timeout period for an election. The default timeout is 2 seconds.
  DB_REP_ELECTION_RETRY
    Configure the amount of time the replication manager will wait before retrying a failed election. The default wait time is 10 seconds.
  DB_REP_FULL_ELECTION_TIMEOUT
    An optional configuration timeout period to wait for full election participation the first time the replication group finds a master. By default this option is turned off and normal election timeouts are used. (See the Elections section in the Berkeley DB Reference Guide for more information.)
timeout
  The timeout parameter is the timeout value. It must be specified as an unsigned 32-bit number of microseconds, limiting the maximum timeout to roughly 71 minutes.

### Errors

The DbEnv::rep_set_timeout method may fail and throw DbException, encapsulating one of the following non-zero errors, or return one of the following non-zero errors:

EINVAL
  An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.

### Description: DbEnv::rep_get_timeout

The DbEnv::rep_get_timeout method returns the timeout value for the specified which parameter.

The DbEnv::rep_get_timeout method may be called at any time during the life of the application.

The DbEnv::rep_get_timeout method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on failure, and returns 0 on success.

### Parameters

which
  The which parameter is the timeout value for which the value is being returned.
timeoutp
  The timeoutp parameter references memory into which the timeout value of the specified which parameter is copied. The returned timeout value is in microseconds.
