KillAgentAfterTimeout was introduced for
WebSpeed in
OpenEdge 11.6. This parameter is documented in the 11.6 and later
ubroker.properties.README file
killAgentAfterTimeOut=false
Setting this property to true will kill the WebSpeed Agent when the connectingTimeout elapses
OpenEdge 11.6:The
killAgentAfterTimeout property is found under both the UBroker parent section:
[UBroker] and
[UBroker.WS] and defaults to
true.
When the parameter is set to
true at the
UBroker parent section:
- AppServers will start without error when started with OpenEdge 11.6
- AppServers fail to start, if the AppServer is started with a version prior to OpenEdge 11.6 (where the killAgentAfterTimeout property name is invalid because it does not exist):
Unable to start <appserver name> due to Invalid property name: "killAgentAfterTimeout". (PRPMsg009)
Note: AppServer logs are not even generated or written to when the error above occurs.
The killAgentAfterTimeout property is only applicable for WebSpeed, since OpenEdge 11.6.
- Manually edit the ubroker.properties file and remove this entry under the [UBroker] Section.
- Only set the killAgentAfterTimeout property for WebSpeed Brokers started with OpenEdge 11.6.
OpenEdge 11.7:
The killAgentAfterTimeout property is removed from [UBroker] Section. It is added only under the [UBroker.WS] section and defaults to false (disabled).
If the killAgentAfterTimeout property is manually added or erroneously added with mergeprop to the [UBroker] Section, it is an invalid property for anything but a WS and the AppServer will fail to start. The error is recorded in the cmdplugin.log:
Unable to start <appserver name> due to Invalid property name: "killAgentAfterTimeout". (PRPMsg009)
Mergeprop incorrectly sets the property killAgentAfterTimeout=true under the [UBroker.WS] section. If the enabled behavior is not required, manually edit the ubroker.properties file and set the property to false under the [UBroker.WS] or specific WebSpeed Broker Sections. This information is detailed in the 11.7.1 Release Note: PSC00350380
