Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Application Server:
Administration

Summary of properties

Table A–1 lists a summary of all the properties that you can set for a service, depending on its session model (free, managed, or both).

Note: A connection pool is a cache that the adapter manages for each session-free service that relies on a controlling NameServer to access the AppServer that provides the corresponding application service. This cache maintains one or more AppServer connections for the application service, which are made available by the NameServer and otherwise managed through these properties. For more information on connection pools, see Chapter 6, " Deploying and Managing Progress 4GL Web Services."

Table A–1: Service properties

Property	Session model	Short description
appServiceHost	Both	Host name for the NameServer or AppServer that supports an application service.
appServiceName	Both	The name of an application service supported by the specified NameServer or AppServer and that supports all of the operations that define the service.
appServicePort	Both	The port number to access the application service bound by the service.
appServiceProtocol	Both	The protocol that the adapter instance uses to access the host for the specified NameServer or AppServer.
connectionLifetime	Free	The maximum lifetime (in seconds) of AppServer connections in the connection pool for this service.
idleSessionTimeout	Free	The duration (in seconds) between attempts by the adapter to shut down extra network connections to the AppServer, based on client demand.
initialSessions	Free	The number of network sessions to be created (and shared by all clients) when the connection pool for the service is initialized by the adapter.
maxSessions	Free	The maximum number of connected sessions allowed in the service connection pool.
minIdleConnections	Free	The minimum number of idle, or inactive, AppServer connections to maintain.
minSessions	Free	The minimum number of connected sessions that the adapter attempts to maintain in the service connection pool.
noHostVerify	Both	Controls whether the service verifies that the host name of the connecting AppServer matches the Common Name specified in the server digital certificate. (Meaningful only in the context of SSL connections.)
noSessionReuse	Both	Controls whether the service requests reuse of the SSL session ID when reconnecting to the same AppServer. (Meaningful only in the context of SSL connections.)
nsClientMaxPort	Both	The maximum value for the adapter to specify for the port number used to communicate with a NameServer.
nsClientMinPort	Both	The minimum value for the adapter to specify for the port number used to communicate with a NameServer.
nsClientPicklistExpiration	Free	The maximum duration (in seconds) that the adapter retains a list of AppServer options (pick list) for an idle application service.
nsClientPicklistSize	Free	The number of available AppServer options (the broker pick list) that the adapter requests from a NameServer each time it looks up a given application service name.
nsClientPortRetry	Both	The maximum number of requests that the adapter makes for a valid local port number when attempting to communicate with a NameServer.
nsClientPortRetryInterval	Both	The interval (in milliseconds) that the adapter waits between requests to get a valid port number when attempting to communicate with a NameServer.
requestWaitTimeout	Free	Determines how the adapter handles requests when the service connection pool becomes full.
serviceFaultLevel	Both	The amount of information returned to the client for a SOAP Fault.
serviceLoggingLevel	Both	The amount and type of information written to the service log by the adapter for each log entry.
staleO4GLObjectTimeout	Both	The maximum duration (in seconds) that a service object can be idle before it is released.
waitIfBusy	Managed	Determines how to handle client requests to a service that is busy processing a prior request.
