SESSION_TIMEOUT

SESSION_TIMEOUT <seconds>

The SESSION_TIMEOUT option forces TCP/IP connections to be removed after the specified number of seconds has elapsed without activity. This option has been verified on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.

History

In V11 and later:

For 64-bit FairCom DB servers, a timeout allows each thread to detect and perform its own disconnection in case of a timeout.

  • If SESSION_TIMEOUT is negative, it is ignored.
  • If SESSION_TIMEOUT is less than 5, it is set to 5 so that the minimum SESSION_TIMEOUT value is 5 seconds.

In V11.6.1 and later, SESSION_TIMEOUT also applies to SQL connections.

Default: No timeout
