oversizeMode¶

Determines how messages larger than MaxDataSize are handled by the listener.

This parameter applies to imrelp: RELP Input Module.

Name:: oversizeMode
Scope:: input
Type:: string
Default:: input=truncate
Required?:: no
Introduced:: 8.35.0

Description¶

This parameter specifies how messages that are too long will be handled. For this parameter the length of the parameter maxDataSize is used.

truncate: Messages will be truncated to the maximum message size.
abort: This is the behaviour until version 8.35.0. Upon receiving a message that is too long imrelp will abort.
accept: Messages will be accepted even if they are too long and an error message will be output. Using this option does have associated risks.

Input usage¶

input(type="imrelp" port="2514" maxDataSize="10k" oversizeMode="truncate")
