►► TCPWindowsize window_size ►◄Parameterswindow_sizeSpecifies the size, in kilobytes, to use for your client node TCP/IP slidingwindow. The range of values is 0 through 2048. A value of 0 allows TivoliStorage Manager to use the operating system default TCP window size. Valuesfrom 1 to 2048 indicate that the window size is in the range of 1KB to 2MB.The default is 63.If you specify a value less than 1, the TCP window sizedefaults to 1. If you specify a value greater than 2048, the TCP window sizedefaults to 2048.Note:1. The TCP window acts as a buffer on the network. It is not related to thetcpbuffsize option, or to the send and receive buffers allocated in client orserver memory.2. A window size larger than the buffer space on the network adapter mightdegrade throughput due to resending packets that were lost on the adapter.3. Depending on the operating system communication settings, your systemmight not accept all values in the range of values.4. Windows XP provides a larger TCP receive window size whencommunicating with hosts that also provide this support, known asRFC1323. In these environments, a value greater than 63 can be useful.ExamplesOptions file:tcpwindowsize 63Command line:-tcpw=63This option is valid only on the initial command line. It is not valid in interactivemode.TimeformatThe timeformat option specifies the format in which you want to display systemtime.Use this option if you want to change the default time format for the language ofthe message repository you are using.By default, the backup-archive and administrative clients obtain formatinformation from the locale definition in effect at the time the client is called.Consult the documentation on your local system for details about setting up yourlocale definition.Note: The timeformat option does not affect the Web client. The Web client usesthe time format for the locale that the browser is running in. If the browser is notrunning in a locale that Tivoli Storage Manager supports, the Web client uses thetime format for US English.You can use the timeformat option with the following commands:494 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Clients: Installation and User's Guide
