Adjusting the TCP/IP minimum connection lifetime

Use the following procedure to adjust the number of seconds a connection must remain active before it is reported by the SYSTCPCN network management interface.

To adjust the TCP/IP minimum connection lifetime

This procedure uses the MINLIFETIME option of the TCPCONNSERVICE parameter

  1. Navigate to the NETMONITOR statement in the TCP/IP profile data set.
  2.  Change the value of the MINLIFETIME option of the TCPCONNSERVICE parameter.

The default value, 3 seconds, applies if you do not specify a value for MINLIFETIME.

Example

Specify MINLIFETIME=10 if you want the interface to report only connections that last longer than 10 seconds.

Warning

MINLIFETIME=0 reports all connections, which could significantly increase overhead and storage used by the MainView for IP PAS.

Note

For more information about the MINLIFETIME option, see the IBM z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Reference.
