IC90207: HAC PARAMETER ERE.REQUIREDPINGFAILURES IS INEFFECTIVE

7.0 Fix Pack 5 download information for IBM solidDB

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using the External Reference Entity (ERE) functionality
  with solidDB HotStandby and solidDB High Availability Controller
  (HAC), the ERE.RequiredPingFailures parameter setting is
  ineffective.
  
  The ERE.RequiredPingFailures in the HAC configuration file
  (solidhac.ini) defines the maximum number of consecutive ping
  calls that must fail before the HAC concludes that the server is
  disconnected from the ERE and isolated from the client network.
  
  However, setting the ERE.RequiredPingFailures parameter has no
  effect. Instead, the number of pings is controlled by the
  HAController.RequiredConnectFailures parameter.
