COM/DCOM

Object Server Parameters

The following table lists the object server parameters that you can use to override or add to the object server parameters that the spawner uses to launch SAS.

Object Server Parameters
Object Server Parameter	Value	Connection Type	Definition
CLIENTENCRYPTIONLEVEL Alias: CEL	none credentials everything	IOM Bridge	Specifies the degree of encryption to use when making outbound calls. This option is used only by the bridge protocol engine.
JNLSTRMAX	Numeric value	IOM Bridge COM/DCOM	Specifies the maximum length of string printed in the IOM server journal. This option can be used to adjust the amount of material included in an IOM trace. A value greater than 500 is recommended.
LOGFILE Alias: LOG	Path in which to create the IOM server trace log.	IOM Bridge COM/DCOM	Provides an alternative to the SAS Log for IOM server trace output. Note: The user who starts the server must have execute and write permissions for the log destination path.
PORT	TCP/IP port number	IOM Bridge	Specifies the value for the bridge protocol engine to use as the port in which to start listening for client connections.
PROTOCOL	bridge com (com,bridge)	IOM Bridge COM/DCOM	Specifies the protocol engine(s) to launch in server mode. Server mode indicates that the protocol engine(s) will listen for client connections. By default, Windows servers use the COM protocol engine and all other servers use the Bridge protocol engine.] It you specify (com, bridge) a multiuser server can simultaneously support clients using different protocols.
SECURITY \| NOSECURITY	N/A	IOM Bridge COM/DCOM	Specifies whether client authorization is required. When security is enabled, the bridge protocol engine requires a username and password; the COM protocol engine is integrated with the single-signon security of the Windows networking environment. Authorization decisions are controlled by the server application. If "nosecurity" is specified, these security mechanisms are bypassed.
TIMEOUTSECONDS	Numeric value	IOM Bridge COM/DCOM	Indicates the timeout in seconds before an inactive session is terminated. If this option is not set, inactive sessions are deleted when closed or fully released by the client.
V8ERRORTEXT	N/A	IOM Bridge COM/DCOM	Indicates that the MVA components should return Version 8 style error messages instead of the Version 9 XML style error messages.
