Fragmentation properties
Fragmentation is when the Gateway Server splits large transmissions into smaller pieces, or fragments, that can be processed by the number of threads that are defined in the maxFileThreads property. An instance of Gateway Server that is processing a transmission that is fragmented cannot process any other transmissions at the same time. It is dedicated to processing that one fragmented transmission.
The following table shows the properties for fragmentation.
| Keyword | Value or example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| fragmentStartSize | 10000 | The minimum number of records that must be in a transmission for the transmission to be
fragmented. For example, when this property is set to 10000, a transmission is not fragmented unless it has
more than 10000 records in it. If this property is set to 0, fragmentation does not occur. |
| fragmentSize | 5000 | The minimum number of records that are included in a fragment. Fragments always include
complete batches (ICLs). For example, when this property is set to 5000, at least 5000 records are included in
a fragment. If this property is set to 0, fragmentation does not occur. |
