You can configure connections to SAP, Siebel, and PeopleSoft to
expire after a specified time by using a policy.
About this task
You can use the Connection idle timeout property
on a policy to control the number of connections to SAP, Siebel
and PeopleSoft by closing connections that have not been used
for a specified time.
Procedure
- Use the Policy editor in the IBM® App Connect
Enterprise Toolkit to create a policy and select
an appropriate policy type, such as SAP Connection (see Creating policies with the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit).
- Ensure that the name of the policy is the same as the name
that is specified by the Primary adapter component property
on the message flow node that you want to override.
Specify
the name of the policy project and the policy on the message flow
node in the format {policyProjectName}:PolicyName.
- Set the Connection idle timeout property
on the policy to the number of seconds for which the connection can
be idle before it is closed.
The default value for
this property is 0 (zero) seconds, indicating that no timeout occurs.
Note that new connections to SAP are opened with different user IDs;
therefore do not set this property to zero if you are using identity
propagation.
- Deploy this policy before you start the associated message
flow.
