Keep Alive and Connection Pooling

The SPS is designed to use a connection pool to provide better performance by spreading out the workload generated from initiating server connections. It is recommended for performance reasons that KEEP ALIVE settings should be turned on for destination servers.

All destination server products have individual methods and attributes for managing keep alive settings. These settings should be reviewed and understood when configuring SPS.
