Spanish term or phrase: mantener abiertas
Hi fellow translators,

I'm trying to figure out the best way to translate the following sentence into US English:

Como igualmente se comentó anteriormente las sesiones se pueden abrir, mantener abiertas o cerrar.

I understand that this means that the session be kept running. Any suggestions?

Here is another original sentence in ES which uses the verb conservar instead:

Una conversación larga debe abrir la sesión en algún momento, conservarla y después cerrarla.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Session-per-conversation patterns. It basically has to do wit Java programming in Hibernate. Here is another sentence that might give more context: Es imprescindible mantener abierta la sesión cuando se opera con objetos que se encuentren en la caché de segundo nivel de Hibernate.
