NetBase for MPE Reference Guide

Using CONFIG
3-11
SPOOL - Remote Transfer Time-out
This parameter specifies the number of seconds that the NetBase Spooling transfer program will
wait to establish communication with its remote spooling process. The minimum value is 10 with a
maximum of 3276. This parameter takes effect when the START SPOOLING command is issued in
NBCTRL.
Default = 120
SPOOL - Transfer Server Allocation
This parameter determines the number of spool file transfer servers to pre-allocate. Spool transfer
servers are invoked when using the NBSpool MOVE or COPY commands to transfer spool files into
this node. Pre-allocating transfer spoolers speeds up the initialization process and reduces the
overhead caused by creating the spoolers at run time. This parameter should be set to the expected
maximum number of incoming spool file transfer requests. This parameter takes effect when
NetBase is started.
Default = 1
Maximum = 64
SPOOL - Maximum Block (bytes)
This parameter determines the number of bytes of spooled output that NetBase will buffer before
sending the output to the spooler transport. The larger this parameter, the fewer the network
transactions. The maximum value of 8192 is recommended. This parameter takes effect when the
START SPOOLING command is issued in NBCTRL.
Default = 8192
Minimum = 512
SPOOL - Maximum Files per Node
This parameter represents the maximum number of local spool files that may concurrently receive
data from remote machines. A maximum of 256 is permitted. This parameter takes effect when the
START SPOOLING command is issued in NBCTRL.
Default = 64
