Connection timeout

Enter a value in the range 0 through 3600, specifying the maximum time in seconds that establishing a connection is allowed to take; the default value of 0 means that no limit is set by the Client daemon. If you enter a value outside the permitted range, the Configuration Tool warns you. If the value entered is too low, it substitutes the minimum. If the value entered is too high, it substitutes the maximum. If a non-numeric value is present in the configuration file, it substitutes the minimum value.

A timeout occurs if connection establishment takes longer than the specified time. The TCP/IP socket is closed and the return code passed back to the client application is either ECI_ERR_NO_CICS or CICS_EPI_ERR_FAILED.

Cleanup processing happens after a timeout only if the server has support for this function installed.

For details of the corresponding entry in the configuration file, see CONNECTTIMEOUT (SERVER section of the configuration file).
