Setting Up ADDP Connections

To configure the Advanced Disconnect Detection Protocol (ADDP) protocol between the LCA of a given host and SCS, use the Options tab of the Host object.

If you are using the Management Layer for application failure management, set up ADDP parameters for the host as described.

  1. Open the Options tab of the Host.
  2. Create a section called addp.
  3. In the addp section, specify the following configuration options:
  4. Option Name Option Value Option Description
    addp-timeout Any integer Sets the ADDP timeout in seconds. If one application in the connection does not receive messages from the other application in the connection within this interval, the first application sends a polling message. If the first application does not receive a response to the polling message within this time interval, it interprets the lack of response as a loss of connection. The recommended setting for this option is 3 seconds for a LAN connection or 10 seconds for a WAN connection.
    addp-trace local LCA prints ADDP-related messages into its log.

Note: You configure ADDP between servers by using the Application's Connections tab.
