IMS Connection Mode

Specifies how a connection with the external system is established and closed. 

• Automatic: Indicates that the connection is automatically established when the collaboration is started, and it keeps the connection alive as needed. OnDemand indicates that the connection will be established on demand, as business rules requiring a connection to the external system are performed. The connection will be closed after the methods are completed.

• Manual: Indicates that the user will explicitly call the connect and disconnect connection methods in their collaboration as business rules. Default is Automatic.

Either a Manual or Automatic setting.
