CONNECTRETRYINT CONNECT RETRY INTERVAL

Controls how long (in seconds) the main product address space waits between attempts to connect to any of the TCP/IP subsystems. This field is specified in seconds.

300 Yes No
CONNECTTIMEOUT TCP/IP CONNECT READ TIMEOUT VALUE

The timeout value for several host operations. The most important use is for Data Virtualization Direct to control how long the host waits for a client TCP/IP (IBM or Interlink) connection to complete. Data Virtualization Web Server uses the value to control how long it waits for each in-bound URL segment to be transmitted. Interlink TCP/IP code also uses this field as the timeout value for directory services requests.

20 Yes No
DRAINREQUESTDATA DRAIN REQUEST DATA BEFORE CLOSE

When set to YES, this option causes WWW transaction threads to issue an additional receive just prior to closing an HTTP sessions. This option can be used to correct for an anomalous CRLF, unaccounted for by the “Content-length:” header, which is sometimes sent by Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers. For certain network configurations, closing the session prior to receiving these extra two bytes causes a reset to reach the downstream client before all response data has been received by the client. This appears at the user-agent as a session failure and the downstream client does not read the entire HTTP response. The problem has been seen only with Internet Explorer 5.00.29xxx version Web browsers. The default setting for this option is NO for systems at z/OS Version 1.4. The default is YES for earlier operating systems releases.

NO Yes No
ALTERNATEIPV6ADDR1 ALTERNATE IPV6 ADDRESS ONE

Specifies an alternate IP version 6 address to bind to.

NO NO
ALTERNATEIPV6ADDR2 ALTERNATE IPV6 ADDRESS TWO

Specifies an alternate IP version 6 address to bind to.

In a mixed IPv4/IPv6 environment, this parameter specifies the IPv6 host domain name. It is not used unless OEIPV6 is set to YES.

YES NO
OEIPV6 OE IPv6 SUPPORT

Controls the usage of IPv6 OE sockets calls. If this parameter is set to YES, IPv6 I/O will be used with OE sockets.

NO NO
DRDAEXECUTETIMELIMIT DRDA EXECUTION TIME LIMIT

Specifies a time limit, in seconds, that Data Virtualization will wait for a response from DRDA after submitting SQL for execution. If no response is received within the specified time, the request is abandoned. The minimum value that may be set is 0 seconds. The maximum is 3600 seconds. If 0 is specified, Data Virtualization does not impose any time limit and will wait until a response is received.

0 Yes No
DRDALOGONTIME DRDA LOGON REQUEST TIME LIMIT

Specifies the time limit, in seconds, that Data Virtualization will wait for a response to a DRDA logon request. If the time limit expires before a response is received, the request is abandoned. The minimum value that may be set is 1 second. The maximum is 120 seconds.

20 Yes No
DRDAMAXFAILATTEMPS

DRDA LOGON MAX FAIL ATTEMPS

The DRDAMAXFAILATTEMPS parameter sets the number of attempts before the IP address of database with DSN is cleared. If the count is set to 0, then clearing of IP is not activated and the IP would not be refreshed. If count it greater than 0 then that many attemps would be made before refreshing the IP.

Yes No
DVIPABINDALL DYNAMIC VIPA BIND ALL ADDRESSES NO No No
KEEPALIVE HTTP PERSISTENT SESSION REUSE SUPPORT

Determines whether the Data Virtualization Server honors Connection: and Keep-alive: headers for in-bound HTTP/1.0 requests. When set to YES, the Data Virtualization Server attempts to honor in-bound headers which request persistent session support. When set to NO, the Data Virtualization Server ignores such headers for all HTTP/1.0 requests.

YES Yes No
KEEPALIVELIMIT HTTP PERSISTENT SESSION RE-USE LIMIT
Sets a limit on how many times an HTTP persistent session is left open for immediate re-use by the downstream user-agent. A small number is recommended when most downstream user-agents are desktop Web browsers. A larger number is recommended when the downstream user-agent is known to be a proxy server. A value in the range 1 to 512 may be specified.
Note: This parameter is only used when persistent session support is enabled via the KEEPALIVE parameter.
4 Yes No
KEEPALIVETIMEOUT HTTP PERSISTENT SESSION RE-USE TIMEOUT

Specifies how long to let persistent sessions wait for another HTTP request to arrive on a session kept open for reuse. The value is specified in milliseconds.

4000 Yes No
LINKDISPLAYTYPE TCPIP CLIENT LINK DISPLAY ARCHITECTURE

Can be set to select the method used to track client IP connection information. When it is not set, the system selects the DEFAULT method and bases the organization upon the NETMODE used by the server. When set to LINK, the server organizes client IP connection information in a linear list and displays it using the ISPF LINKS display panel. When set to TREE, the server organizes client IP connection information in a four-level tree structure, based upon the dot-notation IP address. The information can be displayed using the ISPF IP TREE display panel.

DEFAULT Yes No
NETWORKADJUST NETWORK BUFFER ADJUSTMENT FACTOR.

Controls what fraction of the communication buffer should be reserved to allow for buffer overflow. If the field is set to 20, 1/20th of the buffer is reserved. If it is set to 5, 1/5th of the buffer is reserved. This value should be reduced if buffer overflow errors occur.

20 Yes No
NETWORKBUFFERSIZE MAXIMUM NETWORK I/O BUFFER SIZE

Controls the size of the buffer used to receive blocks of data from the network. A failure occurs if a client application sends a buffer larger than the maximum size. This value should be raised to allow larger blocks of data to be sent to and from the client.

Minimum Value: 0

Maximum Value: 67108864.

256 KB No No
OEASYNCIO OE SOCKETS ASYNC I/O

Controls whether Async OE Sockets calls should be used. Async I/O is faster than synchronous I/O. If set to YES, Async I/O is used with OE Sockets. If set to NO, Async I/O is not used with OE Sockets.

YES No No
OEHOSTDOMAIN OE SOCKETS HOST DOMAIN NAME

Specifies the fully qualified internet host domain name to be used by this Server when constructing fully-qualified HTTP URLs and domain settings. The OEHOSTDOMAIN parameter is used only for OE Sockets TCP/IP connections. This parameter is used for IPV4 connections.

NULL Yes No
OEKEEPALIVETIME OE SOCKETS KEEPALIVE TIME

Uses the TCP/IP keep alive facility to detect that a connection is likely no longer valid and force a disconnect. If no data is transferred on a connection in the interval coded here, then the connection is tested and if no response is received, it is disconnected and any resources using it are freed. The smaller the value, the sooner invalid connections are cleaned up. However, the possibility of disconnecting slow connections is greater.

15 MINUTES Yes No
OELISTENQDEPTH OE SOCKETS LISTEN QUEUE DEPTH

Specifies the maximum length for the connection request queue created by for the LISTEN socket. This value cannot exceed the installation defined maximum that is specified in the SOMAXCONN statement specified in the TCP/IP profile.

10 Yes No
OENLPORTNUMBER OE NON-LOAD BALANCED PORT NUMBER

Sets the port number used to LISTEN for, and ACCEPT all inbound encrypted OE Sockets TCP/IP sessions. This port number should be reserved for use only by the main product address space. Each copy of the main product address space needs its own port number if SSL over OE Sockets is being used. There is no default value for the SSL port number if the value is not set in the initialization EXEC.

0 No No
OEPORTNUMBER OE SOCKETS PORT NUMBER

Sets the port number used to LISTEN for, and ACCEPT all inbound OE Sockets TCP/IP sessions. This port number should be reserved for exclusive use by the main product address space. Each copy of the main product address space needs its own separate port number if TCP/IP is being used. There is no default value for this port number if it is not set in the initialization EXEC.

Note: The port number can be set to a string of “ANY”. This is a special value used to show that the system should assign an ephemeral port number for use by the product.
