Keepalive and heartbeat protocol settings

These new parameters let you adjust TCP keepalive and heartbeat protocol settings at the database and session levels.

  • KeepAliveIdleTime: The time, in seconds, before the first TCP keepalive probe is sent to ensure that the client is still connected.

  • KeepAliveProbeInterval: The time interval, in seconds, between keepalive probes.

  • KeepAliveProbeCount: The number of consecutive keepalive probes that must be unacknowledged by the client before the client connection is considered lost and closed.
