When a Web Option client session submits a page, the Web Option router sends a request to the Web Option server and then waits for a response. Several different factors can affect the length of time it takes for a request/response to be processed, including the number of active Web Option client sessions, the number of Web Option servers running and also the processing power of the IBM i. A value for YRTRMWT that is too low can be exceeded if many clients are accessing few servers, resulting in clients being disconnected. However, if the value is set at -1 (forever), then if a communications error occurs or if the Web Option server crashes, the HTTP server job in which the router is running remains at DEQW status waiting for a response from the server, which can affect performance across the IBM i. It is suggested that the YRTRMWT value not be changed unless you notice that client sessions are receiving communication error messages. Note that prior to Release 8.1 if Web Option, the router used an equivalent value of -1 (forever).
