Setting maximum waiting time for ECRTP to get a database connection [EBF 4.2.5]

To reduce the probability of an ECRTP failure due to a temporary inability to establish a database connection, you can now set a maximum waiting time for ECRTP which specifies the maximum time period that ECRTP waits for a successful database connection.

The optional switch, -tc NN , where NN is a number in milliseconds, allows you to specify a maximum waiting time for ECRTP to establish a database connection. If a connection is or becomes available during that time period, ECRTP immediately stops waiting and starts using the connection. If no connection becomes available during that time period, ECRTP gives up waiting and returns with an error that says no database connection is available.
