How do I change icm/keep_alive_timeout ? (SMICM won't let you do it.)

[Former Member]

In SMICM (Go To -> Parameters->Change), you can change the vvalue of icm/conn_timeout from its default value of 5000 msec.

But the transaction won't let you change the value of icm/keep_alive_timeout from its defailt value of 60 seconds, even though the documentation for the parameter says you can override it. (The "new" value column entry is grey instead of yellow.)

So how DO you change icm/keep_alive_timeout if SMICM won't let you change it?

I am pretty sure it's this parameter that is resulting in the following message when I attempt to run a WDA demo application:

500 Connection timed out

Error:	-5
Version:	7000
Component:	ICM
Date/Time:	Tue Apr 29 03:32:38 2008
Module:	icxxthr_mt.c
Line:	2698
Server:	dhalitsky-l_DEV_01
Error Tag:	{-}
Detail:	Connection to partner timed out after 60s

(Remember, I'm trying to run the subscription stack in 750M under VMWare on a laptop with only 1G total RAM.)

you can change the profile parameter value from transaction RZ10 --> choose instance profile -> extended maintenance.

after changing the value from RZ10, for it to take effect, you have to restart the app server.

Hi Raja -

Thanks for that tip!

I did it the way the help library says - by editing the start-up profile for the instance and changing timeout and proctimeout on icm/server_port ...

But your way is a lot nicer - I'll try it tomorrow.
