Set the level of compression for SQL Remote messages.

Allowed values 

Integer, from -1 to 9

Description 

• The values have the following meanings:

• -1    Send messages in Version 5 format. Message Agents (both dbremote and ssremote) from previous versions of SQL Remote cannot read messages sent in Version 6 format. You should ensure that COMPRESSION is set to -1 until all Message Agents in your system are upgraded to Version 6.

• 0    No compression.

• 1 to 9    Increasing degrees of compression. Creating messages with high compression can take longer than creating messages with low compression.
