This part allows setting EASYCOM parameters to optimize network access times and reduce exchanges between AS/400 and application.
Messages display
If this option is unchecked, no dialog box will be displayed in case of EASYCOM error. Then, program will interpret the functions returned values in all cases (example: password error). This option is recommended with a PC program server type (Web or any program operating automatically).
TCP/IP data compression
This option allows to use data compression to reduce exchanged volumes between AS/400 and PC.
TCP/IP connection maximum timeout
Default: 60 seconds.
Timeout = "": Default value 60s
Timeout = 0: no timeout
Retrieved recordings maximum number
With this option maximum recordings number read in a block can be set. Default value is 32, and its limit is set by the block size parameter.
Activating Keep Alive messages
In the case of sustained applications uses without data exchanged, TCP/IP may close AS/400 to PC communication. To avoid that, regular intervals messages can be sent on established connection. That also allows an EASYCOM job automatic termination in case of PC prolonged silence.
