The CONNECTTIMEOUT parameter specifies
the maximum time in seconds that establishing a connection to the
CICS server is allowed to take.
CONNECTTIMEOUT=<number>- Description
- Set the value in the range 0 - 3600 to specify the time period
in seconds. If the value of the CONNECTTIMEOUT parameter
is set to 0, no limit is set by the Client daemon.
A timeout occurs if establishing the connection takes longer than
the specified time. If a timeout occurs, the TCP/IP socket is closed
and either return code ECI_ERR_NO_CICS or CICS_EPI_ERR_FAILED is passed
back to the Client application.
This parameter
is in the SERVER section of the configuration file.
- Default value
- If this parameter is not specified, the default value is 0.
- Configuration Tool
- In the Configuration Tool, you can set the value of CONNECTTIMEOUT in
the Connection timeout (sec) field in the Server
connection page. This page can be accessed by selecting
an existing server in the CICS Servers section
of the CICS Transaction Gateway pane or by
creating a server definition. To create a server definition, click or click the New Server icon.
