This attribute specifies the duration in seconds that an Sottoprocesso Arbortext PE can run in its lifetime. After an Sottoprocesso Arbortext PE finishes servicing a request, the Sottoprocesso Arbortext PE pool checks the time elapsed since the Sottoprocesso Arbortext PE was started. After the configured time period has elapsed, an Sottoprocesso Arbortext PE will be terminated because it has exceeded this limit. If termination leaves fewer than the configured minimum number of Sottoprocessi 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 Sottoprocesso 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 Sottoprocesso Arbortext PE encounters a problem. Because resource usage can creep over time, setting maxLifetime recycles the resources and avoids having an Sottoprocesso Arbortext PE that has grown too large to function properly or efficiently.

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