Managing SNAplus2 Clients
Managing Win32 Clients
Specify the time in seconds for which the TCP/IP
connection from the client to a server should be kept
active while no applications on the client are using
SNAplus2 resources. For more information, see "LAN
Access Timeout".
The valid range is 0–65535. The minimum timeout is
60 seconds (lower values are rounded up to 60 seconds).
To deactivate the TCP/IP connection more quickly,
disable the client.
This parameter is optional. If it is not specified, the
default is no timeout, and the TCP/IP connection is
kept active as long as the client is running.
broadcast_attempt_count
The Registry data type of this value is REG_SZ.
If the client uses the broadcast method to contact a
server (specified by the * entry described in "Servers"),
this parameter specifies the maximum number of
broadcasts to be made in one attempt to contact a
server.
The valid range is 1–65535. The minimum value is 1;
if a higher value is specified, the client retries every 10
seconds until it contacts a server or until this count is
reached. If the count is reached without contacting a
server, the client then attempts to contact a named
server (as described in "Servers").
This parameter is optional. If it is not specified, the
default is 5.
server_lost_timeout
The Registry data type of this value is REG_SZ.
If the client loses contact with a server and needs to
reconnect, or if it has failed to contact a server using
either broadcasts or named servers (as described in
"Servers"), this parameter specifies the time in seconds
for which the client waits before attempting to contact
a server. If the client has lost contact with the server,
SNAplus2 does not wait for the full timeout period, but
retries after a random period between 5 seconds and
the specified timeout; this is to avoid bursts of network
traffic caused by large numbers of clients attempting to
contact a server at the same time.
