General: Advanced

The Advanced tab enables you to configure advanced profile information for either a client or server computer.

TNS Time Out Value

Enter a dead connection time-out value. Oracle Net sends a probe periodically to verify that a client/server connection is still active. This ensures that connections are not left open indefinitely, due to an abnormal client termination. If the probe finds a dead connection, or a connection that is no longer in use, then it returns an error, causing the server process to exit.

 

Note: This option can be used only on the server.

Client Registration ID

Enter a unique identifier for this client. This identifier is passed to the listener with any connection request.

The listener includes this identifier in its log file. The identifier can be any string up to 128 characters long.

Turn off UNIX Signal Handling

Choose to configure the client to pass child process cleanup to the UNIX init process by disabling signal handlers.

Since the client application spawns a server process internally, the client application becomes responsible for cleaning up the child process when it completes. When the server process completes its connection responsibilities, it becomes a defunct process. Signal handlers are responsible for cleaning up these defunct processes.

Disable Out of Band Break

Choose to disable out-of-band breaks.

If deselected, enables Oracle Net to send and receive "break" messages using urgent data provided by the underlying protocol.

If selected, disables the ability to send and receive "break" messages using urgent data provided by the underlying protocol. Once enabled, this feature applies to all protocols used by this client.
