/uec

Requests the Uniface Router to periodically send an existence check message to the client to check the connection.

/uec=Duration{TimeUnit}

Arguments

  • Duration—length of time between checks, expressed in seconds (the default unit)
  • TimeUnit— optional unit of time; one of:
    • s—seconds (the default, if TimeUnit is omitted)
    • m—minutes
    • h—hours
    • d—days
    • w—weeks

    Note: You cannot combine time units, such as /uec=4w2d.

Use

Use this switch on the network path setting in the client’s assignment file.

Description

When set, the Uniface Router periodically sends an existence check message to the client to check the connection. This setting only applies to this path. By setting it in the client, you can select which paths are sent an existence check message. For more information, see Broken or Closed Connections.

If the Uniface Router has a $NET_TIMEOUT uec setting for all its client connections, that takes precedence over any client setting. For more information, see $NET_TIMEOUT.
