GOAL:
Does the Progress client/server database communication protocol have a keepalive function?
GOAL:
Does the protocol used by the Progress client/server connect have a keepalive function?
GOAL:
Is there a keepalive function that will stop idle users from being disconnected by a firewall?
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
Progress/OpenEdge Product Family
OpenEdge Category: Database
FIX:
The Progress client/server database communication protocol does not perform any "keepalive" functionality.
There is no value in Progress having such a feature as it will just add unnecessary overhead.
The underlying TCP/IP layer has the ability to be adjusted. Please consult TCP/IP documentation on how to adjust keepalive parameters to suit your needs, Progress can't provide recommendations on what parameters or values need to be changed and extra care needs to be taken because changing TCP/IP settings will affect the whole machine not just a single application.
