node_name

|

node1

Required. Unique, user-defined name for this NODE statement. The name does not need to match the name of the PowerExchange Listener process. To contact the PowerExchange Listener process to which the statement points, enter this name in user interfaces that prompt for the location of the PowerExchange Listener, including the following interfaces:

The
Location
attribute in a connection definition in the Informatica Developer or PowerCenter Workflow Manager
The
Location
attribute in a source or target definition in the PowerCenter Designer
The
Location
field in the PowerExchange Navigator dialog boxes

Default is node1.

TCPIP

Required. Communications protocol. TCPIP is the only valid option.

host_name

Required. TCP/IP host name or IP address for the PowerExchange Listener process that listens on the port specified in the

port

parameter. If the

service_name

parameter is specified,

host_name

is ignored.

{

port

|

2480

}

Required. TCP/IP port on which the PowerExchange Listener process that runs on the system specified in

host_name

listens. Valid values are from 1 through 65535. Default is 2480.

{

send_bufsize

|

65536

}

Optional. Size, in bytes, of the data portion of the TCP/IP send buffer. Valid values are from 1024 through 1048576. Default is 65536.

{

receive_bufsize

|

65536

}

Optional. Size, in bytes, of the data portion of the TCP/IP receive buffer. Valid values are from 1024 through 1048576. Default is 65536.

{

send_size

|

4096

}

Optional. Maximum size, in bytes, of the block of data that PowerExchange sends to TCP/IP at one time. If the data exceeds this size, PowerExchange splits data into multiple blocks until it sends all the data. Valid values are from 512 through 1048576. Default is 4096.

Enter a value that is less than or equal to the TCP/IP send buffer size.

{

receive_size

|

4096

}

Optional. Maximum size, in bytes, of the block of data that PowerExchange processes from TCP/IP in one operation. If the data exceeds this size, PowerExchange splits data into multiple blocks until it receives all the data. Valid values are from 512 through 1048576. Default is 4096.

Enter a value that is greater than or equal to the TCP/IP receive buffer size.

receive_timeout

Optional. Number of seconds that PowerExchange uses as the receive timeout value when a long wait is required. PowerExchange uses this value for this request only. Valid values are from 1 through 14400.

{SSL|ZOSSSL}

Optional. Specifies that PowerExchange uses SSL authentication.

Specify the ZOSSSL option only on a Linux, UNIX, or Windows SSL client that is communicating with a z/OS system. Otherwise, specify the SSL option on the Linux, UNIX, or Windows SSL client.

service_name

Optional. To configure an Informatica client tool or integration service to locate a PowerExchange Listener Service in the Informatica domain, specify the name of the Listener Service in the

service_name

parameter.

A client tool is the Developer tool or PowerCenter Client. An integration service is the PowerCenter Integration Service or Data Integration Service.

If you include this parameter, the Informatica client tool or integration service ignores the

host_name

parameter on the NODE statement and uses the

service_name

and

port

parameters to locate the Listener Service in the Informatica domain.

For more information about the PowerExchange Listener Service, see the

Informatica Application Service Guide
