Client Configuration Parameters

Defines the IP address or host name of the Remote Accelerator server.

Defines the port number on which the Remote Accelerator server listens for transfers using the Accelerator technology.

The default number is 9099.

Defines the default class of service entry name for initiator transfers.

The default value for this parameter is ALL which means connections can bind to any IP address.

If a machine has more than one IP address, it is possible to bind the connection to a particular one. It guarantees that all the transfers only go through this particular IP address.

The default value for this parameter is ALL which means connections can bind to any IPv6 address.

If a machine has more than one IPv6 address, it is possible to bind the connection to a particular one. It guarantees that all the transfers go only through this particular IPv6 address.

Defines whether to have the postprocessing action executes after each file in a directory is transferred or after the entire directory is transferred.

The valid values are Child or Parent. The default value is Child.

Child: Postprocessing is performed after each transfer.

Parent: Postprocessing is performed after all files have been transferred.

When this parameter is set to Parent, the following rules apply:

• StopsOnFailure is automatically set to Yes. Transfer stops on the first failed transfer.
• Failure PPA runs on the first failed transfer.
• Successful PPA runs only on the last transfer (assuming it is successful).

Defines whether to have the preprocessing action executes before each file in a directory or only once before any file transfer starts.

The valid values are Child or Parent. The default value is Child.

Child: Preprocessing is performed before each file transfer.

Parent: Preprocessing is performed once per directory transfer, before each individual file transfer is started.

Defines the option to maintain file creation time stamps between servers. Valid values are Yes and No.

When the value is set to Yes,

• if a file is sent, then the newly created file on the remote side will have the same date/time as the local one.

• if a file is received, then the newly created file on the local side will have the same date/time as the remote one.

Value Y means that the cfsend or cfrecv requires a defined node. If the node parameter is not defined, the initiator rejects the transfer and displays an error message.

The default value is 10 minutes. Once the timeout value is reached, the transfer terminates with a retry-able error.

The valid values are:

• N|No: no tracing takes place. This is the default value.
• L|Low: provides minimal information about the transfer, including local and remote transaction numbers, file names, the number of bytes transferred, fail or success status indicator, general message string, and the start and finish times of the transfer.
• M|Medium: includes all internal state messages.
• H|High : includes all networking data in addition to the information provided by the medium level trace.

Usually tracing has only to be turned on at the request of TIBCO Support for troubleshooting purpose.

A unique trace file is created for each file transfer. A file name contains the local transaction number and Process ID (PID).

The file name is the trace file name (local transaction number and PID) with a t1 extension. When the specified size limit is reached, a second file with a t2 extension is created. When the second file is full, all data contained in the t1 file is deleted and it begins again from size 0. This process then repeats on the t2 file. This trace file swapping continues for the duration of the file transfer.
