Syntax

back-persistent-timeout seconds

Parameters

seconds: Specifies the maximum inter-transaction idle time. Enter a value in the range 0 - 86400. The default value is 180. A value of 0 disables the persistence timer.

Guidelines

The back-persistent-timeout command sets the inter-transaction timeout on service-to-server connections. This value is the maximum idle time between the completion of a TCP transaction and the initiation of a new TCP transaction on this connection. If the specified idle time is exceeded, the connection is torn down.

For HTTP GET and HEAD requests, the service attempts the connection again after the specified value. Therefore, the actual timeout is twice the specified value.

An idle TCP connection can remain in the idle state for 20 seconds after the expiration of the persistence timer.
