CLIENT-INITIAL-MSG

(client/server version 5.24 or later-default changed 6.00)

 

(Default = TRUE)

CLIENT-INITIAL-MSG  TRUE | FALSE

 

Determines if the PC Client (or screen saver) is required to use extra level of initial protocol to successfully communication with the MOMI server on the NonStop System.

 

The keyword is provided for internal testing purposes only.

 

The MOMI Server on the NonStop System opens and listens a TCP/IP port as specified by TCPIP-LISTEN. Certain security testing programs may open the port and attempt communication. This feature was introduced to help insure that these testing programs were more quickly disconnected.

 

A side effect of this feature is that no MOMI PC Client prior to version 5.08 or MOMI screen saver prior to version 4.13 (issued in 5.24 release package) can communicate with the server.

 

 

Example:

 

Client-initial-msg  false           == initial message off
