Business Rules Server Secondary Host The hostname of the secondary Business Rules Server host. It is used if the primary host is not available.
Notes:
  1. Using localhost might not work on Windows 64-bit operating systems. The hostname of the server might need to be used instead.
  2. The Gateway engine must be restarted for this property to take effect.
   ftmtest2.example.com
Business Rules Server Secondary Port The port number to use for the secondary Business Rules Server host. It is used if the primary host is not available.
Note: The Gateway engine must be restarted for this property to take effect.

Business Rules Server Request Time Out The maximum time, in milliseconds, the Business Rules Server remains inactive between decision requests. This value must be an integer 0 - 999999.
Note: The Gateway engine must be restarted for this property to take effect.
 999999 500000

Number of Business Rules Server threads per batch The number of threads to use for each batch (ICL) when the Gateway engine validates transactions. When you change this property, consider adjusting the following properties too.
Maximum Number Of Threads property
This property is a Gateway engine work manager property in WebSphere® Application Server. Use the following calculation to update the property.

Number of listeners for the Gateway engine * Number of Business Rules Server threads per batch

Maximum connections property
This property is a Gateway engine Business Rules resource adapter connection pool property in WebSphere Application Server. Use the following calculation to update the property.

Gateway engine work manager Maximum Number Of Threads + (2 * Number of listeners for the Gateway engine)

Match Returns to Original Determines whether validation to match incoming return transactions to the original transactions is done. true false
Enable return item match revalidation Set to true to cause the Gateway engine to check that the original item for a return item exists during revalidation. Revalidation is the equivalent of the matchReturnsToOriginal property for Gateway Server.

For this revalidation, errors that are flagged use the error code that is specified in the Return transaction matching error code property.

 true false
Number of seconds for activation timeout Sets the number of seconds that the business day activation waits before it times out. 900  
Number of transactions to aggregate for validation The Gateway engine can divide transactions into smaller groups for validation during business day activation or revalidation. This property specifies the number of transactions to group for validation. 200  
Enable separate batches for operator's returns Indicates whether returned transactions are placed in separate batches (ICLs) depending on the operator that returned them. When this property is set to true, the transactions that are returned by a Gateway operator are placed into a different batch (ICL) than the transactions returned by a NACHA operator. false  
Error categories to preserve during revalidation A list of error categories for which the initial validation results are preserved when revalidation is done. When revalidation is finished, Gateway copies the initial validation results for these categories into the latest revalidation results. Use commas to separate the names of the categories.
Note: The Gateway engine must be restarted for this property to take effect.
   Image compliance (IQA), Image compliance (TIFF), Image compliance (IIA), Image correction (TIFF)
Enable business day activation revalidation Indicates whether the Gateway engine does revalidation when a business day is activated. When this property is set to true, revalidation is done when the business day is activated. false true, false
Note: Do not include grouping indicators (commas) in numeric values. For example, enter 5,000 as 5000.
