C.3 Modifying the OFX Controller Heartbeat Startup Delay (Windows Workloads)

To avoid discovery failures caused by timing issues, a default heartbeat startup delay of 15 seconds (15000 ms) is set on the OFX Controller. The setting is configurable by adding the HeartbeatStartupDelayInMS registry key on the source workload. This registry key is not configured by default.

To enable a heartbeat delay of shorter or longer duration:

On the source workload, open the Windows Registry Editor.
Go to the following location in the Registry Editor, depending on the operating system architecture on the source workload:

Path for a 64-bit source workload:
```
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\PlateSpin\OperationsFramework\Controller
```
Path for a 32-bit source workload:
```
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PlateSpin\OperationsFramework\Controller
```
Add a key named HeartbeatStartupDelayInMS of type REG_SZ and set its value to the desired value in milliseconds. The default setting should be 15000.
```
REG_SZ: HeartbeatStartupDelayInMS
Value: "15000"
```
Restart the source workload.
