iTP Secure WebServer System Administrators Guide (Version 7.5+)

specifies the name of the Guardian home terminal being used by the server process executing on
this system. If you do not specify the Hometerm command, the default home terminal is the home
terminal used by the PATHMON process on this machine. It is recommended that you use an
asynchronous terminal for the PATHMON home terminal.
An example of the Hometerm command is:
Hometerm /G/terma
This command is optional.
Linkdepth max-number
specifies the maximum number of concurrent links that a specific LINKMON process can have to
any server process in the class defined by this Server directive. A LINKMON process manages
the links for all requesters in the same processor as the LINKMON process.
The value of Linkdepth should not exceed the value of Maxlinks and cannot exceed 255.
If you omit this command, the default is 1.
NOTE: In order to achieve the load-balancing enhancement described in iTP Secure WebServer
httpd on page 1-8, the Linkdepth command value must be set to 1 (the default value) for the httpd
configuration.
Typically, you use the Linkdepth command to allow multithreaded servers; for servers that are
not multithreaded, use the default value of 1 for Linkdepth.
The following Linkdepth command would allow two concurrent requests from each LINKMON
process to any server in the server class:
Linkdepth 2
MapDefine define-name OSS-path
allows a server to be propagated with a define set.
An example of the MapDefine command is:
MapDefine =TCPIP^PROCESS^NAME /G/ztc0
MapDefine =abc /G/system/sql
where the first token is a legal define name and the second token is the OSS form of a Guardian
file name.
This command is optional.
Maxlinks max-number
specifies the maximum number of concurrent links permitted between all LINKMON
processes—therefore, between requesters in all processors—and a server process in the class
defined by this Server directive.
max-number must be a value from 1 through 4096. This command establishes the maximum
number of concurrent send operations to a single server process. A LINKMON process does not
check how many links a server has with other LINKMON processes.
If the value for this attribute is too large, the requests to the server process are queued at the server.
For example, if Maxlinks is equal to 20, there could be 20 concurrent requests outstanding to
a server. If the transaction service time is 1 second, a response time of more than 20 seconds can
occur.
If you omit this command, the default is 1.
The following Maxlinks command would allow only three concurrent requests, from all processors
combined, to any server in the server class:
Maxlinks 3
This command is optional.
Maxservers max-number
specifies the maximum number of servers in this server class that can run at the same time.
max-number must be a value from 1 through 4095. If you omit this command, the default is 1.
