Solution

To resolve these errors, decrease the TCP/IP KeepAliveTime setting on the Financial Management web and application server(s) to be slightly less than half the firewall idle connection timeout value. Example, if the firewall timeout is 20 minutes then setting the KeepAliveTime to between 5 and 10 minutes would keep the connection from being reset.. 

Add the following Value to the key if it does not already exist: 

Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters 
Value Name: KeepAliveTime 
Data Type: REG_DWORD 
Value (decimal): XXXX 

The value of XXXX is in milliseconds, Default value is 7,200,000(two hours). This value controls how frequently TCP tries to verify that an idle connection is still intact by sending a keep-alive packet. If the remote computer is still reachable, it acknowledges the keep-alive packet. Keep-alive packets are not sent by default. New value should be less than half the firewall idle timeout.
