Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> Re: SQLPlus Connection Timeout Parameter?
Although this is from the Net8 manual, this still applies to your
version of SQL*Net:
<snip>
The optional server paramter, SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME, determines how often
the network listener sends a probe to verify that a client-server
connection is still active. If a client is abnormally terminated, a
connection remains open indefinitely, unless identified and closed by
the system. If you specify this parameter, the network listener sends
a probe periodically to determine whether there is an invalid
connection to terminate. If the network listener finds a dead
connection, or a connection no longer in use, it returns an error,
causing the server process to exit. This parameter must be set in the
SQLNET.ORA file on the server.
</snip>
I don't know IPX/SPX very well, but there may be some native mechanism in the underlying transport protocol which also does dead connection detection (akin to the NT TCP/IP registry settings "TcpMaxConnectRetransmissions" and "TcpMaxDataRetransmissions").
Another thing you may want to check out is that you don't have too low of a setting for IDLE_TIME in your user profiles (if you're using it at all).
