HTTP transport channel custom properties

If you are using an HTTP transport channel, you can add the following custom property to the configuration settings for that HTTP transport channel.

To add a custom property:
  1. In the administrative console, click Application servers > server_name Web container settings > Web container transport chains > chain_name > HTTP Inbound Channel > Custom Properties > New
  2. Under General Properties specify the name of the custom property in the Name field and a value for this property in the Value field. You can also specify a description of this property in the Description field.
  3. Click Apply or OK.
  4. Click Save to save your configuration changes.
  5. Restart the server.

Following is a list of custom properties provided with the application server. These properties are not shown on the settings page for an HTTP transport channel.

inProcessLogFilenamePrefix

Use to specify a prefix for the filename of the network log file. Normally, when inprocess optimization is enabled, requests through the inprocess path are logged based on the logging attributes set up for the Web container's network channel chain. You can use this property to add a prefix to the filename of the network log file. This new filename is then used as the filename for the log file for inprocess requests. Requests sent through the inprocess path are logged to this file instead of to the network log file. For example, if the log file for a network transport chain is named .../httpaccess.log, and this property is set to local for the HTTP channel in that chain, the filename of the log file for inprocess requests to the host associated with that chain is …/localhttpaccess.log.

Data type String

listenBacklog

This property is only valid for the i5/OS and distributed platforms. Use the listenBacklog property to specify 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 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.

Data type Integer
Default 511
