IPIC Heartbeat interval
The heartbeatinterval parameter specifies the time, in seconds, between heartbeat requests to the CICS® server.
heartbeatinterval=<number>
- Description
- Set the value in the range 0 - 3600 to specify the heartbeat interval
in seconds. Heartbeat requests are small requests which are sent to
the CICS server when no other
data has arrived on the connection for a period of time, if the CICS server supports heartbeat
requests. If a response to a heartbeat request is not received within
the heartbeat interval, the connection is closed, and if a server
retry interval is configured, then an attempt will be made to reconnect
after 1 second. To disable heartbeat requests, set the value of the heartbeatinterval parameter
to 0.
This parameter is in the IPICSERVER section of the configuration file.
- Default value
- If this parameter is not specified, the default value is 30 seconds.
- Configuration Tool
- In the Configuration Tool, you can set the value of heartbeatinterval in the Heartbeat Interval (sec) field in the Server connection page. This page can be accessed by selecting an existing server in the CICS Servers section of the CICS Transaction Gateway page or by creating a server definition. To create a server definition, click or click the New Server icon.
