• The name of the executable providing workstation handler services for this workstation listener. The default value for this is WSH, which corresponds to the system provided workstation handler. Workstation handlers may be customized using the command buildwsh(1).If the string has the form 0xhex-digits or \\xhex-digits, it must contain an even number of valid hex digits. These forms are translated internally into a character array containing the hexadecimal representations of the string specified.Format 1: //hostname:port_numberIn Format 1, the bridge finds an address for hostname using the local name resolution facilities (usually DNS). hostname must unambiguously resolve to the address of the machine on which the bridge resides.In Format 2, the #.#.#.# is in dotted decimal format. In dotted decimal format, each # should be a number from 0 to 255. This dotted decimal number represents the IP address of the local machine.In both of the above formats, port_number is the TCP port number at which the bridge will listen for incoming requests. The value of port_number can be either a number (between 0 and 65535) or a name. If port_number is a name, then it must be found in the network services database on your local machine.The address can also be specified in hexadecimal format when preceded by the characters 0x. Each character after the initial 0x is a number between 0 and 9 or a letter between A and F (case insensitive). The hexadecimal format is useful for arbitrary binary network addresses such as IPX/SPX or TCP/IP.Suppose the local machine on which a TDomain is being run is using TCP/IP addressing and is named backup.company.com, with address 155.2.193.18. Further suppose that the port number at which the TDomain should accept requests is 2334. Assume that port number 2334 has been added to the network services database under the name bankapp-wsl. You can specify the address in any of the following five formats:The last line shows an address in hexadecimal format where 0002 is the first part of a TCP/IP address and 091E is the port number 2334 translated into a hexadecimal number. The rest of the line contains hexadecimal numbers that are translations of the elements of the IP address 155.2.193.12: "155" becomes "9B", "2" becomes "02", and so on.Restartable (Y) or non-restartable (N) WSL server. If server migration is specified for this server group, then this attribute must be set to Y.Y or NThe period of time, in seconds, over which the limit specified in the Max Generations (TA_MAXGEN) for the Workstation Listener class applies.The value in this field is meaningful only for restartable WSL servers, i.e., if you have entered Y in the Automatic Restart (TA_RESTART) for the Workstation Listeners class. When a restarting server would exceed the limit specified in the Max Generations field but the period specified in the Grace Period field has expired, the system resets the current generation to 1 and resets the initial boot time to the current time.Specifies when this server should be booted (tmboot(1)) or shutdown (tmshutdown(1)) relative to other servers. If two servers are given the same sequence number, it is possible for tmboot(1) to boot them in parallel and for tmshutdown(1) to shut them down in parallel. If you add a workstation listener without specifying a value in the Activation Sequence Number field (or if you enter an invalid value), the workstation listener that is generated will be 10,000 or more — higher than any other automatically-selected default value.Servers are booted by tmboot(1) in increasing order of sequence number and shut down by tmshutdown(1) in decreasing order. Run-time modifications to this attribute affect only tmboot(1) and tmshutdown(1) and will affect the order in which running servers may be shut down by a subsequent invocation of tmshutdown(1).Message size threshold at which compression will occur for traffic to and from Workstation clients. threshold may be either non-negative numeric values or the string MAXLONG, which is dynamically translated to the maximum long setting for the machine.The number of generations allowed for a restartable WSL server over the specified grace period. The initial activation of the WSL server counts as one generation; each restart also counts as one. Processing after the maximum generations is exceeded is discussed in the description of the Grace Period (TA_GRACE) on the Options tab page for Workstation Listeners.A value of 0 in this field means that the effective value is determined at activation time from the current value in the Max Handlers field and the Max Workstation Clients field for the Machines class (T_MACHINE). Note that a GET operation with the MIB_LOCAL flag set will get the effective value for objects with an activation time default setting.The maximum amount of time (in minutes) that a Workstation client is permitted to be idle before it is abortively disconnected from the application by the handler. A value of 35,204,649 allows clients to be idle as long as they wish without being timed out. A value of 0 means that clients may be terminated after any period of inactivity greater than 1 second.This field displays the client identifier for this workstation handler. The data in this field should not be interpreted directly by the end user except for an equality comparison. This field can be used to link the workstation handler to its associated Workstation client objects in the Clients class. The value in this field is always equal to the value in the Client ID (TA_CLIENTID) for this class.This field displays the state of the workstation handler client within the application. Any state defined for the Clients class in TM_MIB(5) may be returned or set as indicated on that reference page.State changes to the SUSPENDED state affect all clients associated with this workstation handler as does the resetting of a SUSPENDED workstation handler to ACTIVE. Additionally, SUSPENDED workstation handler clients will not be assigned any additional incoming clients by the workstation listener.Note that the state of a workstation handler client may not be set to DEAD when the Clients class is being accessed. However, the state transition to DEAD is allowed via the Workstation Handlers class. Such a transition will result in all connections that are being handled by the targeted workstation handler being dropped abortively.This field displays the state of the workstation handler. A value of Y indicates that the workstation handler is currently performing work on behalf of one of its associated Workstation clients. A value of N indicates that the workstation handler is currently waiting for work to perform on behalf of one of its associated Workstation clients.Each # (pound sign) represents a decimal number in the range of 0 to 255. The value of port_number is a decimal number in the range 0 to 65535. No value will be displayed (that is, the field will be blank) for a non-Workstation client.
