For an application to take advantage of work areas, the work area service must be enabled for both clients and servers. On a server the service is disabled by default. On the client, the service is enabled by default.
For an application to take advantage of the default partition, the UserWorkArea partition, this partition must be enabled by enabling the work area service for both clients and servers. The work area service on a server is disabled by default and the work area service on a client is enabled by default. Note that rather than using this default work area partition, a user can create their own work area partition using the Work area partition service.
Applications can set maximum sizes on each work area that is sent or received. By default, the maximum size of a work area that is sent by a client and received, then possibly resent, by a server is 32,768 bytes. The maximum size that you can specify is determined by the maximum value expressible in the Java™ Integer data type, 2,147,483,647. The smallest maximum size that you can specify is 1. Using a maximum size of 1 byte effectively means that no requests associated with the work area can leave the system or enter another system. A value of 0 means that no limit is imposed. A value of -1 means that the default value is to be honored. The default value is also used if an invalid value or a malformed property is specified. You can change this size as described in this topic.
