Network communications parameters

If you experience problems with client/server network communications, you can set a number of command line parameters for both the client and the server. These parameters enable you to work around peculiarities of different network protocol implementations.

You supply the network communication parameters on the server or client command line as in the following example:

start_asiq -x tcpip(PARM1=value1;PARM2=value2;. . .),...

From the client side, the communications parameters are entered as the CommLinks communication parameter:

CommLinks=tcpip(PARM1=value1;PARM2=value2;. . .),...

If there are spaces in a parameter, the network communication parameters must be enclosed in quotation marks to be parsed properly by the system command interpreter:

start_asiq -x "tcpip(PARM1=value 1;PARM2=value 2;...),..."
start_asiq -x "tcpip(PARM1=value1;PARM2=value2;...)"

The quotation marks are required under UNIX if more than one parameter is given, because UNIX interprets the semicolon as a command separator.

Boolean parameters are turned on with any of YES, ON, TRUE, or 1, and are turned off with any of NO, OFF, FALSE, or 0. The parameters are case-insensitive.

The examples provided should all be entered on a single line; you can also include them in a configuration file and use the @ server or client command-line switch to invoke the configuration file.

The parameters currently available for TCP/IP, HTTP, and HTTPS are as follows.
