I had issues with oracle sqlnet connections traversing the NG-AI R55 with HFA_20 SPLAT firewalls. I fixed the issue by modifying the $FWDIR/lib/base.def in the CMA according to Checkpoint sk19566, as follows:

 RECORD_DATA_CONN(dst,0,sr1,sr2,sr3,     IS_ACCEPTED_A, 0x4a, 0, 0),

 Modification:
 RECORD_DATA_CONN(dst,0,sr1,sr2,sr3,     IS_ACCEPTED_A, 0x4a, 86400, 0),
("86400" is the desired timeout in seconds)

After upgrading to NGx R61, I run into the same issue again.  I tried
to modify the base.def but there is NO such parameter in the base.def.

Keeping sessions alive for a day is a good way to fill your connections table. But I guess you will not have that many Oracle connections.

I have seen several issues where traffic is idle in applications. Mostly telnet and Oracle. I have tried to increase the timers on Check Point but it still is not working in all cases.

Adjusting the OS of the Oracle server to send TCP keep-alives after 900 secons however works like a charm everytime. I suggest you work on that side to keep sessions alive.

(Linux will only send keep-alive packets after 7200 seconds. But you can change it so easily it takes longer to describe then to execute.)
