Step 4 Click OK.
Table 6-1 Server Tuning dialog box fields
Field Name Action
Tunneling Enabled check this box to enable tunneling
tunneling is a method of establishing a state-based connection via the
HTTP protocol; it is often used to create a stateful HTTP connection
through a firewall; tunneling decreases your WebLogic performance –
use it only when necessary; a better option is to use the t3 protocol on
port 80 (if your firewall is able to pass IP packets through port 80)
Tunneling Client Ping
Seconds
enter the number of seconds between pings
when a tunnel connection is created, the server periodically checks the
state (up or down) of the remote client; 45 seconds is the optimum
default value for the ping interval; the valid range is 20 to 900 seconds
Tunneling Client Timeout
Seconds
enter the number of seconds that must elapse from the last response
from a client before a connection is considered “dead”
if a client does not respond to a request or ping within the timeout
period, WebLogic Server closes the HTTP tunnel connection; 40
seconds is the optimum default value; the valid range is 10 to 900
seconds
Login Timout (ms) enter the number of seconds in which a login must complete from the
time it is initiated
if a correct username/password combination is not entered and the
login process completed within this time, the login process will be
terminated
Thread Pool Socket
Readers (percent)
enter the percentage of execute threads that can be used as socket
readers
the default value is 33; the allowable range is 1 to 99
