6.6.13.0: Properties of tranports

Key:
Property name in the Java-based administrative console Applies to Java administrative console of Advanced Edition Version 4.0
Property name in the Web-based administrative console Applies to Web administrative console of Advanced Single Server Edition Version 4.0
Property name in the application client resource configuration tool Applies to Application Client Resource Configuration Tool

HTTP transports
Dynamic Properties  Property name in the Java-based administrative console or Properties  Property name in the Web-based administrative console
Special configuration properties for the transport. Each transport type can contain custom properties specified by the transport provider.

For the Advanced Edition: The properties are displayed as fields into which you can enter values.

For the Advanced Single Server Edition: Enter the property names and their corresponding values into the Properties area.

The properties are as follows:

Connection Backlog  Property name in the Java-based administrative console or MaxConnectBacklog  Property name in the Web-based administrative console
The maximum number of outstanding connect requests that the operating system will buffer while it waits for the application server to accept the connections. If a client attempts to connect when this operating system buffer is full, the connect request will be rejected.

Set this value to the number of concurrent connections that you would like to allow. Keep in mind that a single client browser browser might need to open multiple concurrent connections (perhaps 4 or 5); however, also keep in mind that increasing this value consumes more kernel resources.

The value of this property is specific to each transport.

ConnectionIOTimeOut  Property name in the Web-based administrative console or I/O Timeout  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
The maximum time (in seconds) to wait when trying to read or write data DURING a request.

The value of this property, after it is specified for the first transport, will be applied globally to all other HTTP transports in this administrative domain.

ConnectionKeepAliveTimeOut  Property name in the Web-based administrative console or Keep Alive Timeout  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
The maximum time (in seconds) to wait for the next request on a keep alive connections.

The value of this property, after it is specified for the first transport, will be applied globally to all other HTTP transports in this administrative domain.

I/O Timeout  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
See ConnectionIOTimeout
Keep Alive Timeout  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
See ConnectionKeepAliveTimeout
MaxConnectBacklog  Property name in the Web-based administrative console
See Connection Backlog
Maximum Keep Alives  Property name in the Java-based administrative console or MaxKeepAliveConnections  Property name in the Web-based administrative console
The maximum number of concurrent keep alive (persistent) connections across all HTTP transports. (HTTP 1.1 allows multiple requests to be sent on the same TCP/IP connection.) The default value is 90% of the maximum number of threads in the Web container thread pool. This prevents all of the threads from being held by keep alive connections so that there are threads available to handle new incoming connect requests.

The value of this property, after it is specified for the first transport, will be applied globally to all other HTTP transports in this administrative domain.

Maximum Requests per Keep Alive  Property name in the Java-based administrative console or MaxKeepAliveRequests  Property name in the Web-based administrative console
The maximum number of requests which can be processed on a single keep alive connection.

The value of this property, after it is specified for the first transport, will be applied globally to all other HTTP transports in this administrative domain.

Enable SSL  Property name in the Java-based administrative console or SSL Enabled  Property name in the Web-based administrative console
Whether to protect connections between the WebSphere plug-in and application server with Secure Socket Layer (SSL). See also the security properties
External  Property name in the Web-based administrative console
Whether this transport is for internal or external use
Host  Property name in the Java-based administrative console or Host Name  Property name in the Web-based administrative console or Transport Host  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
The host IP address to which to bind for the transport
Host Name  Property name in the Web-based administrative console
See Host
Port  Property name in the Java-based administrative console  Property name in the Web-based administrative console or Transport Port  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
The port to which to bind for the transport
Properties  Property name in the Web-based administrative console
See Dynamic Properties
SSL Enabled  Property name in the Web-based administrative console
See Enable SSL
Transport Host  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
See Host
Transport Port  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
See Port
Use global SSL default configuration  Property name in the Web-based administrative console
See the general security properties
