DataStage connector for SalesForce should attempt reconnecting several times if connection is temporarily interrupted

This is referring to IBM Infosphere DataStage v11.5! I could not find this exact product in the list.
ETL jobs that are connecting to SalesForce to fetch data do not extract all available data reliably. Sometimes the connection is briefly interrupted but as confirmed by IBM support. the DataStage SalesForce connector is not designed in such a way that it could resume / retry connecting. In our view, this is a very important and mandatory feature, without which the usability of the connector is compromised. As the connector behaves today, we are fetching every time a different number of rows from SalesForce even though there is no significant variability in the source.
