Parallel connections to an EIS partner via the OSI-TP or LU6.2 protocol
The number of parallel connections required from the proxy container to an EIS partner depends on the maximum number of parallel messages that can be exchanged simultaneously between the applications in the application server and the EIS partners.
You change the number of connections to the EIS partner in the Management Console:
Open the subtree of the proxy in the navigation area.
Open the subtree below EIS Partners.
From the context menu of the according EIS partner, choose the item Edit Properties.
On the tab General specify the value for Connections.
The Management Console outputs the Number Of Connections Modified dialog box where it suggests that you also modify the values of the other connection parameters. To accept this suggestion, click Accept.
If you reject the suggestion with Cancel then please note that you must set sensible values for the other connection parameters yourself:
If more outbound than inbound communication is carried out via the connections to an EIS partner, less than half of the connections should be defined as contention winner. The number has to be adjusted to the number of contention winners defined in the EIS configuration. The sum of both definitions has to be equal to the number of connections.
Number of parallel connections for inbound communication via the UPIC, RFC1006 or UTM Socket protocol
You can change the number of UPIC, socket and RFC1006 connections for the inbound communication in the Management Console:
From the context menu of the proxy, select the item Edit Properties.
In the Edit Properties of Local/Remote Proxy property sheet choose the Performance Settings tab.
Under Number of Parallel Connections change the value for Inbound UPIC, Inbound Socket or Inbound RFC1006.
These values also refer to the number of parallel connections to all EIS systems which communicate using these protocols. The default value for all three partner types is 10 parallel connections.
The Management Console itself also requires a UPIC connection to communicate with the proxy.
