Keeping an idle tcp connection up for more than 2 hours
It has been suggested that I can maintain this connection by adjusting a parameter in tcpip services that would exersize the connection periodically, like less than two hours. I've browsed the help and manual in tcpip services and googled it but I haven't found the correct setting I looking for. Can anybody help me here?
thanks

Re: Keeping an idle tcp connection up for more than 2 hours
Details of the connection would lend themselves to determining which particular keepalive is appropriate. Or whether there's a brute-force solution for the protocol.
I'd be looking most carefully at the interface engine, and at the network itself.
Details on the connection and the network and the identity of the interface engine involved here might help.

Re: Keeping an idle tcp connection up for more than 2 hours
look at the 'tcpip_keepidle' mechanism.
Is a firewall involved here between those systems ? I've seen a case, where a firewall dropped an IDLE connection after 60 minutes when the OpenVMS (default) tcpip_keepidle was 14400 (i.e. 120 minutes). Lowering the value to 55 minutes on OpenVMS solved that problem.

Re: Keeping an idle tcp connection up for more than 2 hours
as I assume this is a reproducable problem, consider to start a TCPDUMP trace on the OpenVMS system to capture all packets to/from the 'interface engine'.

TCPIP> sysconfig -q inet
...
tcp_keepalive_default = 0
...
TCPIP> sysconfig -r inet tcp_keepalive_default=1
The last command needs to be done after TCPIP is (re)started.
