IBM Cam Mega Camel reconnection strategy

We are facing an issue where the application is idle for a while and when we try to send a message to IBM MQ we get aa 2009 MQRC_CONNECTION_BROKEN. Camel has a reconnect strategy to test and reconnect to IBM MQ again. How do we configure this or do we need the application to catch it, clear the application state, and re-establish the connection.
