Integration Server periodically pings the JMS provider to keep the connection between the Integration Server and the JMS provider active. The ping acts as a keep-alive request. By default, Integration Server pings the JMS provider every 300 seconds. You can configure how frequently Integration Server pings the JMS provider by changing the value of the watt.server.jms.connection.pingPeriod property. For more information about this property, see Server Configuration Parameters.
