Maximum requests

The maxrequests parameter specifies the maximum number of concurrent tasks that can be handled by the Client daemon.

maxrequests=<number>
Description
Set the value in the range 1 - 10,000 to specify the number of concurrent tasks. A task can be one of the following:
  • A request to install a terminal emulator
  • A request to install an EPI terminal
  • A transaction invoked by a terminal
  • An ECI unit of work
  • An ESI request
The maxrequests parameter can be use to prevent runaway conditions, where an application can, in error, submit an excessive number of requests to a server. The actual limit might be less than the value specified if other operating system limits, such as memory constraint or communication sessions, come into effect.

This parameter is in the CLIENT section of the configuration file.

Default value
If this parameter is not specified, the default value is 256.
Configuration Tool
In the Configuration Tool, you can set the value of maxrequests in the Maximum requests field on the Resourses tab in the Client daemon configuration page.
CICS® Transaction Gateway Desktop Edition
The maximum value for this parameter is 32.
