Re: inetd keepalive problem

Greetings! Set the The Keep Alive Option in the 5th column of the sqlhosts file: The keep Alive option is a network option that TCP/IP uses. It does not affect other types of connections. The letter k identifies keep-alive entries in the options field, as follows. k=0 disable the keep-alive feature k=1 enable the keep-alive feature When a connected client and server are not exchanging data, the keep-alive option enables the network service to check the connection periodically. If the receiving end of the connection does not respond within the time specified by the parameters of your operating system, the connection is considered broken, and all the resources related to the connection are released. When the keep-alive option is enabled, the network service spends additional resources to check the connection. When the keep-alive option is disabled, the network service does not check periodically whether the connection is still active. If you do not include the keep-alive option in the OPTIONS field (5th column of sqlhosts), the keep-alive feature is enabled by default. --Anil Art S.
