4.2 - SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME - Verification of client/server active Authentication
connections
SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME is a time interval, in minutes where SQL Net Service send a probe Oracle Database -
through the network to check if the client/server connections are still active. Setting a value AUTHID
greater than 0 ensures that connections are not left open indefinitely, due to an abnormal
client termination. This parameter is then intended for the database server (and not the client) Oracle Database -
Automatic
If the probe finds a terminated connection, or a connection that is no longer in use, it returns reoptimization /
an error, causing the server process to exit. This parameter is primarily intended for the (statistics|cardinality)
database server, which typically handles multiple connections at any one time. feedback
