Usage

When the Web Option server processes a client request, it sends formatted data to i OS, which then passes that data to the application program currently running within the client job, as if the user had entered data on the green-screen. The application program than processes the data and displays a new screen, which is retrieved by i OS and passed back to the Web Option server. Typically, this process takes less than one second (since it is effectively the length of time taken for one green-screen to transition to the next, following a key-press by the user). The shipped value for YSVRMWT (30 seconds) should therefore obviously be sufficient for almost all transactions. However, if the application program performs some complex processing such as running a query interactively, or if the IBM i is very slow, then this value can be exceeded. If the YSVRMWT value is exceeded, the client job is automatically ended.
