TIMECR and BYTECR Server Initialization Parameter Values<br />

The value specified for TIMECR or BYTECR determines how often <strong>NetView</strong> <strong>FTP</strong><br />

<strong>V2.2.1</strong> <strong>MVS</strong> takes a checkpoint during a file transfer. These parameters do not<br />

apply for OSI transfers.<br />

The receiving server cannot receive any data while it is writing data to the checkpoint<br />

data set. When selecting a value for this parameter the system administrator<br />

must consider the following factors:<br />

� The need for frequent checkpoints, to reduce the amount of data that must be<br />

retransferred when an error occurs.<br />

� The amount of I/O time used in writing checkpoints frequently.<br />

The faster the speed of the line the less important is the need for regular checkpointing.<br />

You can specify BYTECR=0 to stop regular checkpointing for smaller<br />

data sets. However, if regular checkpointing is used and PDS members are transferred,<br />

a checkpoint is written after each member. This may cause severe performance<br />

degradation if the PDS members are small.<br />

The Maximum Number of File Transfers That <strong>NetView</strong> <strong>FTP</strong> <strong>V2.2.1</strong> <strong>MVS</strong><br />

Can Process Concurrently<br />

This number is determined by a combination of the following:<br />

� The MAXSRV queue handler initialization parameter value. The value specified<br />

for this parameter determines the maximum number of servers that can be<br />

started at any one time.<br />

� The number of servers that are started. The operator can change this number.<br />

� The MAXSESS server initialization parameter value. The value specified for<br />

this parameter determines the maximum number of file transfers that any server<br />

can process simultaneously. For an SNA server the value limits the maximum<br />

number of subtasks for that server. You cannot change the value during processing.<br />

An OSI server works asynchronously and does no subtasking. MAXSESS<br />

specifies the maximum number of requests that the OSI server can handle at<br />

the same time. It is used to limit the storage used to keep information about<br />

requests until they are completed.<br />

� The AVLSESS, AVLLRH, and AVLRRH server initialization parameter values.<br />

The values specified for these parameters determine the number of file transfers<br />

that the relevant server can process concurrently, as follows:<br />

AVLSESS Total number of file transfers the relevant server can process concurrently<br />

AVLLRH Number of local file transfers<br />

210 <strong>NetView</strong> <strong>FTP</strong> V2 <strong>MVS</strong> Installation, Operation, and Administration<br />

For OSI servers this parameter value must be the same as the<br />

AVLSESS parameters as OSI servers can only handle locally initiated<br />

sessions.
