Problem summary

  • When application uses third party applications for database
    connections, they do not have control on the Socket KeepAlive
    parameters  for the database connections made by the third party
    code. The application need the capability to set the Socket
    KeepAlive parameters at thread level to handle such situations.
    Not having the capability to control the Socket KeepAlive
    parameters can lead to database/server connection hang.
    

Problem conclusion

  • This defect will be fixed in:
    6.0.0 SR15
    6.0.1 SR7
    7.0.0 SR6
    .
    The JDK has been updated with a new set of public Java APIs (in
    com.ibm.lang.ThreadProperties class) to allow the users to get,
    set or remove properties for a thread or thread group. The only
    properties that will be supported are the Socket KeepAlive
    parameters for thread/threadgroups.  Any other properties which
    are trying to set using this API will be ignored.The keepalive
    parameters set using the ThreadProperties are applicable for
    plain TCP/IP client sockets created using java.net Socket public
    APIs. The details of the API and its usage is documented in the
    javadoc.
