Hi fzellinger,
Is there any way I can ping the oracle server at regular intervals.Will that resolve this timeout issue.
This scripts are running in windows boxes, the loading jobs what exactly does is save the files in a work server and report those details to oracle database using SQL loader method.
The problem is that loading job takes much time and the oracle connection has to wait long time to get this done and report it to the database.
That is why i thought of another method that pings the oracle server or run a simple query at regular intervals to keep the connection alive while the loading job also runs.
I will provide you the exact timeout error message once i get that from the other team.
Thanks.
