[All PEGACPLSA88V1 Questions]

A queue processor is configured with the value of the Max attempts field is 4, the value of the Initial delay field is 2 minutes and the the value of the Delay factor field is 2 for processing retries.

What is the delay between the second and third attempt, assuming each previous attempt fails?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, B

Max Attempts: The maximum number of retry attempts set is 4.

Initial Delay: The initial delay before the first retry attempt is 2 minutes.

Delay Factor: The delay factor is set to 2, which means the delay doubles with each retry.

Calculating Delays:

First attempt fails, delay before second attempt = Initial delay = 2 minutes.

Second attempt fails, delay before third attempt = Initial delay * Delay factor = 2 minutes * 2 = 4 minutes.

Third attempt fails, delay before fourth attempt = 4 minutes * Delay factor = 4 minutes * 2 = 8 minutes.

Delay Between Attempts: The question specifically asks for the delay between the second and third attempt, which is calculated as 8 minutes.

Haha, this is a tricky one. I bet the answer is 8 minutes, just to really mess with us. You know, some exam questions are designed to be sneaky like that.

Wait, I think I got this. The delay between the second and third attempt should be 8 minutes, since the delay doubles with each attempt. The Delay factor of 2 means the delay is multiplied by 2 each time.

Ah, I see. The delay is calculated by multiplying the Initial delay (2 minutes) by the Delay factor (2) for each subsequent attempt. So the delay between the second and third attempt is 2 x 2 = 4 minutes.

But the Initial delay is 2 minutes, so it should be 6 minutes in total.

I think it's 8 minutes because of the Delay factor of 2.

Hmm, let's see. If the Initial delay is 2 minutes and the Delay factor is 2, the delay between the second and third attempt should be 4 minutes. I'm pretty sure option B is the correct answer.
