Products

• XCOM Data Transport

Issue/Introduction

Starting with XCOM r11 SP1 for AS/400 i5/OS users will notice that when they issue the command STRXCTCP to start the XCOM TCPIP server it will no longer start the Agents. The number of Agents that started in the previous version and release of XCOM was controlled by the value specified for MAXCLIENTS. That is no longer the case with SP1. MAXCLIENTS will only control the number of simultaneous transfers you can have at a given time.
