AS2 Compression in IBM Sterling B2B Integrator
IBM Sterling B2B Integrator supports compression of data. The compression levels can be selected in AS2 Partner profile in Compress Data field. The Compress Data fields have below settings.
None
Low
Medium
High
Default
Below is the meaning of each compression level.
•None = 0
•Low = 1
•Medium = 8
•High = 9
•Default = 9
Overall as the numeric value of the compression level increases, 0 to 9, the level of compression also increases along with the amount of resources (CPU/Time) to conduct the compression.
Compression Level of 0 result in lowest Compression but it will be the fastest considering time to compress.
Compression Level of 9 is the best compression but it will take longer time to compress.
As you increase the compression ratio it takes more time to compress.
IBM Sterling B2B Integrator compression algorithm conforms to zip specification.
