Setting a Sametime Polling "Keep Alive" interval for client requests

You can have the Sametime® Polling service keep a client request alive for a certain number of second in cases where a temporary connection loss prevents an immediate response. The setting applies to clients who connect through HTTP and use the Sametime Polling service.

About this task

The VP_MAX_PENDING_TIME setting in the [Polling] of the sametime.ini file defines the interval (in seconds) to keep messages pending that are sent by the client. Its default value is set to 0 seconds, which keeps a request pending indefinitely. When the VP_MAX_PENDING_TIME is set to a value larger than 0, the Sametime Polling service sends a response to the client after the specified number of seconds.
