This attribute specifies the duration in seconds that an Sous-processus Arbortext PE can run in its lifetime. After an Sous-processus Arbortext PE finishes servicing a request, the Sous-processus Arbortext PE pool checks the time elapsed since the Sous-processus Arbortext PE was started. After the configured time period has elapsed, an Sous-processus Arbortext PE will be terminated because it has exceeded this limit. If termination leaves fewer than the configured minimum number of Sous-processus Arbortext PE running, a new one is started. The default value is 86400 seconds (one day).

Reaching the maximum lifetime duration won't interrupt a request being processed. Checking the Sous-processus Arbortext PE elapsed time only happens between requests. The purpose of having a lifetime limit is to release memory or other resources, especially if an Sous-processus Arbortext PE encounters a problem. Because resource usage can creep over time, setting maxLifetime recycles the resources and avoids having an Sous-processus Arbortext PE that has grown too large to function properly or efficiently.

The pool work thread checks for Sous-processus Arbortext PE at regular intervals; refer to Sous-processus Arbortext PE Pool Work Thread for more information. You can disable checking the duration of Sous-processus Arbortext PE by specifying 0.
