SHADOW - Export Buffer Max BF
This parameter defines the maximum number of blocks that the export process can send to a node
at one time. The optimal setting for the NS LAN Link is 5 blocks. This parameter takes effect when
the START EXPORT command is issued in NBCTRL.
Default = 5
Minimum = 1 Maximum = 16
SHADOW - Export Buffer Time-out
This parameter is the number of seconds that the export process will wait before sending the
buffered shadow transaction to the shadow node. Increasing this delay increases the chances of
multiple shadow updates sharing the same network transaction, thus reducing networking
overhead. This parameter takes effect when the START EXPORT command is issued in NBCTRL.
Default = 10
Maximum = 120
SHADOW - Export Ack Time-out
This parameter is the number of seconds that the export process will wait for an acknowledgment
from the import process indicating that the data has been received. A value of 120 seconds has been
found to be adequate. However, if time-outs occur due to heavily loaded computers or due to
unusual activity, this value should be increased. This parameter takes effect when the START
EXPORT command is issued in NBCTRL.
Default = 120
Maximum = 1200
SHADOW - Export Initial Priority
This parameter is the MPE process priority under which the export process will initially run. Valid
values are BS, CS, DS and ES. This parameter takes effect when NetBase is started.
Default = DS
