If ConnectionIsAlreadyOpen is TRUE, ExpirationInterval is set to the expiration interval
already set on the existing connection. Otherwise, it is set to the ExpirationInterval assigned in
the NDS_JANITOR query. A 0 value indicates that the default (2 hours, 10 seconds) should be
used. On exit, the value of this variable is assigned as the expiration interval for the connection.
Š
ConnectionIsAlreadyOpen (Input Only, Type BOOLEAN)
This variable is TRUE if eDirectory needs to reuse an existing connection and FALSE if it
needs to create a new connection.
Š
ConnectionLastUsed (Input Only, Type TIME)
If ConnectionIsAlreadyOpen is TRUE, then ConnectionLastUsed is the last time that a packet
was sent from eDirectory using this connection. Otherwise, it will be 0.
Sample NDS_LIMBER
Before eDirectory runs limber, it queries WAN Traffic Manager to see if this is an acceptable time
for this activity. The traffic type NDS_LIMBER does not have a destination address; it requires a
NO_ADDRESSES policy. If WAN Traffic Manager returns DONT_SEND, limber is put off and
rescheduled.
The following variables are provided:
Š Last (Input Only, Type TIME)
The time of last limber since eDirectory started.
Š Version (Input Only, Type INTEGER)
The version of eDirectory.
Š ExpirationInterval (Output Only, Type INTEGER)
The expiration interval for all connections created while running limber checks.
Value Description
<0, 0 Use the default expiration interval (default).
>0 Expiration interval to be assigned to this connection.
Value Description
TRUE eDirectory determines that it already has a connection to this address
and can reuse that connection.
FALSE eDirectory does not have a connection to this address and must
create one.
Value Description
TRUE ConnectionLastUsed is the time that eDirectory last sent a packet on
this connection.
FALSE ConnectionLastUsed will be 0.
