Server Timeout Client Connection

In a server-to-client connection, if the server does not receive a heartbeat for a period exceeding this limit (in seconds), it closes the connection.

We recommend setting this value to approximately 3 times the heartbeat interval, as it is specified in the Client Heartbeat Server property.

Note: If you do not set the Client Heartbeat Server property when a Server Timeout Client Connection is specified, a configuration error is generated during startup. If CONFIG_ERRORS is part of the startup abort list, the server will not start. If not, the error is printed but the server starts, and clients will be disconnected after Server Timeout Client Connection seconds.

Zero is a special value, which disables heartbeat detection in the server (although clients still send heartbeats).

Classic Configuration

The timeout is set using the server_timeout_client_connection property in the tibemsd.conf file:

server_timeout_client_connection = limit

Administration

This property cannot be set using the administration tool.
