General: Advanced

The Advanced tab enables you to configure advanced profile information for either a client or server machine.

TNS Time Out Value

Enter a time-out value for how often Net8 is to send a probe to verify that a client-server connection is still active. This is done to ensure that connections are not left open indefinitely due to abnormal client terminations. If the probe finds a dead connection, or a connection that is no longer in use, it returns an error, causing the connection to terminate and server process to exit (if using a dedicated server process).

Note: Only available on the server.

Client Registration ID

Enter a unique identifier for this client. The listener includes this identifier in its log file. The identifier can be any string up to 128 characters long.

Turn off UNIX Signal Handling

Click to configure the client to pass child process cleanup to the UNIX init process by disabling signal handlers.

Since the client application spawns a server process internally through the Bequeath protocol as a child process, the client application becomes responsible for cleaning up the child process when it completes. When the server process completes its connection responsibilities, it becomes a defunct process. Signal handlers are responsible for cleaning up these defunct processes.

Disable Out of Band Break

Click to disable out-of-band breaks if the underlying transport that a client is using does not support it. Out-of-band breaks allow the user to cancel an operation in progress. Disabling them means that all requests submitted must be completed.
