ssan3_open Controls

For

ssan3_open

optional Controls are used to set the

SSAPR

environment variable and session

TIMEOUT

value. (The

SSAPR

environment variable can also be set in the application’s or SSA-NAME3 server’s execution environment)


[SSAPR=}directory name]
[TIMEOUT=}n seconds]

SSAPR (Optional)	Specify the directory containing the Population Files. For example, on MSWin32 platforms this may be: c:\InformaticaIR\nm3\pr . Or for Unix platforms it may be /InformaticaIR/nm3/pr . This can also be set as an environment variable.
TIMEOUT (Optional)	Specify the number of seconds to keep a session since the last API call before allowing it to be overwritten. The default setting is 0 - i.e. no time-out value. This allows inactive sessions to be made available for new sessions, and reduces the risk of SSA-NAME3 running out of sessions. For more information, see the SSA-NAME3 "Sessions"' section.
