MAXTASK and MAXLOC Parameters

CA XCOM Data Transport uses the MAXTASK and MAXLOC default table parameters as well as the number of concurrent transfers running on each Worker Server to determine ranking. Note that one server may receive all transfers based on this ranking system. For example, if transfers complete quickly, the same Worker Server may always be available. Alternatively, if a server has many long running transfers or a low MAXLOC value, this Worker Server receives a high ranking. If a Worker Server reaches the MAXLOC, the maximum number of locally initiated transfers, this Worker Server also receives a high ranking. Transfers scheduled for a future time are not considered when determining rank.

Note: The MAXTASK and MAXLOC parameters provide the following default options:

• MAXTASK—The CONFIG parameter that specifies the maximum number of file transfers that the CA XCOM Data Transport server can perform concurrently.
• MAXLOC—The CONFIG parameter that specifies the maximum number of locally initiated transfers that can be active at one time.
