Using the TCP/IP SO_KEEPALIVE option

On some UNIX and Linux® systems, you can define how long TCP waits before checking that the connection is still available, and how frequently it tries the connection again if the first check fails. This is either a kernel tunable parameter, or can be entered at the command line.

If you want to use the SO_KEEPALIVE option (for more information, see Checking that the other end of the channel is still available ) you must add the following entry to your queue manager configuration file (qm.ini):


TCP:
KeepAlive=yes

See the documentation for your UNIX and Linux system for more information.
