Spaces

The calculation for table sizes in this section does not include spaces between command components.

Minimal_cols configuration parameter

If the value of the LTM for MVS Minimal_cols configuration parameter is set to Y, Replication Agent only replicates the after images of columns that changed and that contain key data for a changed row.

This can reduce the volume of the Log Transfer Language (LTL) for some transactions, potentially increasing throughput.

Suppress_col_names and Use_repdef configuration parameters

Setting the values of the LTM for MVS configuration parameters Use_repdef to Y and Suppress_col_names to Y can eliminate the sum of the length of the column names calculated and reduce the LTL by that amount.

See Appendix A, “LTM for MVS Configuration Parameters,” for more information on the Minimal_cols, Suppress_col_names, and Use_repdef configuration parameters.
