Compressing Transmitted Data

Set the UseCompression parameter of the JADE initialization file [JadeThinClient] section to true if you want to specify that the data sent to and from the application server is compressed. (By default, data transmitted to or from the application server is not compressed.) The compression ratio that is achieved is appended to the "Thin Client disconnected and signed off" message written to the jommsg.log file of the application server when an application closes.

The compression process is transparent to both you and the user, and enables you to reduce the size of data that is sent over a slow network connection at the cost of the extra processing CPU required to compress and uncompress the data.
