Web Services adapter and REST Web Services connections
To request the use of the ASK protocol for an application service, a Web Services adapter or the REST Web Service must set the following properties for that service, as described below:
*Set the appServerKeepalive property, a string valued property that indicates the ASK features, which the client would like to employ on the connection, to allowClientAsk. The appServerKeepalive property contains the ClientASK protocol capabilities supported by this client. The absence of this property indicates that the default value for the ClientASK protocol will be used on this connection.Valid values are:
*allowClientAsk
*denyClientAsk (default)
*Set the clientASKActivityTimeout property, an integer valued property that determines the maximum amount of time (in seconds) from the last activity on a connection that the client waits for a client message before initiating an askPing request. The minimum value is 30. The default value is 60.
*Set the clientASKResponseTimeout property, an integer valued property that determines the maximum amount of time (in seconds) that the client waits for an askPing response after an askPing request is issued. The minimum value is 30. The default value is 60.
Note: All the properties described here can be set using OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer or by manually editing the properties file.
