Why and when to perform this task
Applications can set maximum sizes on each work area that is sent or received. By default, the maximum size of a work area that is sent by a client and received, then possibly resent, by a server is 32,768 bytes. You can change this size as described in this topic.
Steps for this task
Result
The maximum size that you can specify is determined by the maximum value expressible in the Java Integer data type, 2,147,483,647. The smallest maximum size that you can specify is 1. Using a maximum size of 1 byte effectively means that no requests associated with the work area can leave the system or enter another system. A value of 0 means that no limit is imposed. A value of -1 means that the default value is to be honored. The default value is also used if an invalid value or a malformed property is specified.
