Parameter/Default Definition
MAXREQUEST
Default = 300
Minimum = 1
Number of bytes in the server input buffer.
This parameter also sets the maximum size for requests issued to the
server by your applications. PS MAIL 6530 and PS MAIL 3270 require
that this parameter value for TISERV be 3000 or greater.
MAXREPLY
Default = 3000
Minimum = 1
Number of bytes in the server output buffer. The TCP MAXREPLY
value must be equal to or greater than the largest PARAM MAXREPLY
value used.
This parameter also sets the maximum size for replies from the server
to your applications. The parameter has no effect on TRECV servers.
MAXLINKS
Default = 8
Minimum = 1
Maximum number of simultaneous opens for the server must be
entered in addition to the PATHWAY MAXLINKS parameter.
This parameter has no effect on TWORK or TRECV servers.
NAMESPACE
Default = $T.CORR
Name of correspondent directory; the value must be the same as that
specified when TRANSFER was initialized.
IOTIMEOUT
Default = 20
Minimum = 1
Number of seconds in which file input and output must complete. This
prevents TRANSFER components from waiting too long for a record to
become available, thus ensuring uniform response time even if the
response is a timeout error.
HANGAROUND
Default = FALSE
Must be TRUE or FALSE
Action to be taken when the last link to a server in a server class is
closed.
Set this parameter to TRUE for the server to remain idle if there are no
open links or to FALSE for the server to stop after the last close.
If both the server and the requester are running under PATHWAY, set
this parameter to FALSE.*
If the server is running under PATHWAY and the requester is outside
PATHWAY, set this parameter to TRUE.
If both the server and the requester are running outside PATHWAY, set
this parameter to TRUE.
* Do not configure servers in the same server class to run both in PATHWAY and outside PATHWAY.
