Maximum Data Size During Transmission

If you know the maximum size of the data that clients are transmitting, you can minimize storage used for communication. To do this, specify the maximum data size (in kilobytes) on the MAXSENDSIZE parameter of the ATTACH command. If a client tries to transmit more than that amount of data, CA-L-Serv rejects the request.

For example, to transmit no more than 20K of data at a time, specify:

ATTACH COMMSERVER ACBNAME(NONE) MAXSENDSIZE(20) XCF(YES)

If you do not know the maximum size, use the default value 32.

Note: You cannot change the maximum data size while the communications server is running. You need to recycle the Communications Server using the DETACH and ATTACH commands for a new value to take effect.

The default value of 32K is suitable for most client applications. See the documentation for the application to determine if you need to adjust this value.
