Number of Workstation Gateway Clients Per Server — Example
For example, assume you configured 5 client sessions per server job. The
workstation gateway server ensures that four jobs are available for work. The 4 jobs
allow 20 clients to use the workstation gateway server concurrently with this
configuration (4 server jobs times 5 client sessions per server job allows 20 client
sessions). There is also one additional job running for a total of 5 jobs. This
additional job monitors the configured or default well-known port and distributes
connection requests from clients to the other jobs. If your multiplexing value is
lower, less bottlenecking occurs through a server. However, the AS/400 system
requires more jobs and resources to support the same number of sessions.
Inactivity Timeout (INACTTIMO)
3
The inactivity timeout specifies how long a workstation gateway server session
can be idle before the AS/400 system ends the session. By default, the system
allows a workstation gateway server session to remain inactive for 10 minutes.
After this time, it ends the session. Possible values are from 0 through 60
minutes. A value of 0 means that there is no timeout.
Note: It can take the system an additional 1 to 300 seconds to end the inactive
session (jobs wake up at 5-minute intervals).
Data Request Timeout (DTARQSTIMO)
4
The data request timeout specifies how long the workstation gateway server
waits from the time a client initially connects until the workstation gateway
server receives all the request data.
Possible values are from 1 through 1200 seconds.
Network Timeout — Hint
Make the timeout value longer if you experience network delays. Make the value
shorter to minimize resource usage caused by running more workstation gateway
server jobs. If the timeout value becomes too long, too many jobs end up waiting to
run. This happens particularly on small AS/400 systems.
Display Sign-on Panel (DSPSGN)
5
Specifies whether to display the AS/400 sign-on panel when a Workstation
Gateway request comes in from a World Wide Web (WWW) browser.
Note: The workstation gateway server recognizes only generic, default AS/400
sign-on panels. If you have customized your AS/400 sign-on panel, the
workstation gateway server might not recognize the panel. If the
workstation gateway server cannot send your sign-on panel, start with
the default sign-on panel and try making small changes to adjust your
customized sign-on panel to a form that the workstation gateway server
recognizes. The default for DSPSGN is *NO. For most everyone, leaving
DSPSGN at *NO means that no one can use the workstation gateway
server server unless the AS/400 system cannot recognize the sign-on
