UC_HOSTCHAR_DEFAULT - Host Characteristics

This Variable (VARA) object contains default agent settings and it is supplied with system client 0000. You can copy this variable and rename it to UC_HOSTCHAR_<SUFFIX> to define specific agent settings.

Notes:

This variable includes the following keys:

ANONYMOUS_FE, ANONYMOUS_FT, ANONYMOUS_JOB

Important! The ANONYMOUS_FE (file events), ANONYMOUS_FT (file transfers), and ANONYMOUS_JOB (jobs) keys are only supported for OS/400, UNIX and Windows agents.

The behavior of these keys also depends on the settings that are defined in the [GLOBAL] parameter in the INI file of each agent:

Windows

UNIX

OS/400

Important! Regardless of the agent's OS, it is recommended using the Login object.

You also have to set the privilege Start without Login object specified in the Users object. For more information, see Users (USER).

APPLICATION_LOGIN

BACKUP_RETENTION_CHECK

Important! This key affects only Windows and UNIX agents.

BACKUP_RETENTION_LIFETIME

Important! This key affects only Windows and UNIX agents.

BLOCK_ON_LOST

CHANGE_LOGGING_DAYS

Important! This key is available only for Java-based, Windows, and UNIX agents.

CHANGE_LOGGING_MB

Important! This key is available only for Java-based, Windows, and UNIX agents.

DISCONNECT_AFTER_FT

EVENT_CHECKINTERVAL

EXECUTE_ON_START, EXECUTE_ON_END, EXECUTE_ON_LOST, EXECUTE_ON_ASSIGNMENT

EXECUTE_ON_DEPLOYMENT_AGENT, EXECUTE_ON_DEPLOYMENT_RUN

FE_VERSION

FT_ASYNC_QUIT_MAX, FT_ASYNC_QUIT_MIN, FT_ASYNC_QUIT_NUM

Important! This keys are available only for OS/400, NSK, Windows, UNIX and z/OS agents.

Synchronous transfer: Data packages are only sent when the receipt of sent packages is confirmed. The sending and receiving agents adjust their transmission speeds.

You have a synchronous behavior when the setting of the FT_ASYNC_QUIT_NUM key equals the setting of the FT_ASYNC_QUIT_MAX key.

Example

Asynchronous transfer: Data packages are sent although no confirmation is received. This allows data to be transferred faster because the connections (faster or slower) are used more efficiently. The TCP/IP buffer of the agent must be increased accordingly using the SendBufferSize= and RecvBufferSize= parameters in the INI file of the agent.

You have an asynchronous behavior when the setting of the FT_ASYNC_QUIT_MAX key is a multiple of the setting of the FT_ASYNC_QUIT_NUM key.

Examples

Weak asynchronous transfer:

The sending agent may send a maximum of 10 non-confirmed data packages. If the maximum has been reached, it waits until all receipts have been confirmed before it continues the sending process.

Strong asynchronous transfer:

The sending agent may send a maximum of 60 non-confirmed data packages. Receipts are confirmed each 5 packages. The sending agent always waits until 30 non-confirmed data packages are open before it starts the data transfer.
