Need to keep connection open w/o changing default Time out

[mbl607]

Hello all! Here is my issue I am hoping to get some ideas on: I am running PeopleSoft Web on a Weblogic 5.1 server. I have a NT client in Europe that is using an ISDN connection with a Cisco 803 router. The connection is set to time out after 3 minutes.I have to come up with a way (ping script?) that will keep the connection open, while they are in the PeopleSoft web client, to ensure that there is some activity to keep the line open. Any ideas?

Thanks so much for any help/suggestions!

Could you verify that you want to keep the line open ALL the time? or just when clients are logged onto your server?

If you want to keep the line up all the time, you can enable CDP on the BRI interface, that uses hellos at regular intervals and will keep traffic on the line and hence keep it up.

Cheers,
Phil.

If everything is coming your way then you're in the wrong lane.

Hi Phil! Thank you for responding! I do not want to keep the line up all the time (cost reasons) I just want to keep the connection open while the client is logged into the server.

Thanks for your help!
Mary

You could try making a new home page that has a 1-pixel frame which refreshes every few minutes. The frame is the same technique used by domain registrars to transparently redirect browsers to (usually) personal home pages without changing the visible url. The refresh tag should keep the connection open by requesting a blank page across the connection.
