The Salesforce driver supports reconnection after a session timeout. Salesforce, like most web-based connections has a session timeout associated with it. The Salesforce driver will reconnect to Salesforce if it receives an error from Salesforce indicating the session has timed out. No configuration is needed.

You can configure the Salesforce driver to retry web service fetch operations if the web service operation timed out; Insert, Update and Delete operations are not retried. the WSRetry Count connection option specifies whether the Salesforce driver retries fetch operations and the number of times it retries. The WSTimeout connection option specifies Web Service timeout period.
