5250 Connect User’s Guide
92
8 Enter a Pool Size number. This represents the total number of connections
you wish to make available in this pool. For each connection, you will be
expected to supply a UserID/Password combination later.
9 Enter a KeepAlive time period. This number represents (in minutes) how
often you wish to execute the KeepAlive actions in the associated Logon
Component whenever the connection is active but free (i.e. not being used
by a 5250 Terminal component). The number you enter here should be less
than the Timeout period defined on the host for an inactive connection.
10 Enter an Inactivity Lifetime. This number represents (in minutes) how long
you wish to keep an active free connection available before closing out the
connection and returning it to the inactive portion of the connection pool.
Remember, that once the connection is returned to its inactive state in the
pool, it will incur the overhead of logging in and navigating host screens
when it is re-activated.
11 Enter an Entry Wait time in seconds. This time represents how long a 5250
Terminal component will wait for a free connection when all the pool entries
are active and in use. If this time period is reached, an Exception will be
thrown to the Application Server.
