Managing Object Request Brokers

Why and when to perform this task

Default property values are set when the product is started and the Java Object Request Broker (ORB) service is initialized. These properties control the run-time behavior of the ORB and can also affect the behavior of product components that are tightly integrated with the ORB, such as security. It might be necessary to modify some ORB settings under certain conditions.

In every request/response exchange, there is a client-side ORB and a server-side ORB. It is important that the ORB properties be set for both sides as necessary.

After an ORB instance has been established in a process, changes to ORB properties do not affect the behavior of the running ORB instance. The process must be stopped and restarted in order for the modified properties to take effect.

The following steps are to be performed only as needed.

Steps for this task

  1. Adjust timeout settings to improve handling of network failures.
    Before making these adjustments, be sure to read "ORB tuning guidelines."
