- Server Instance CCSID: Controls the CCSID for the IBM i server job. You should use the same CCSID that you use with your other IBM i applications.
- Node.js Version: Controls the version of Node.js that will be used to run the server. You can select from any compatible versions that were found on IBM i. You should always use the most up-to-date compatible version, unless your applications require an older version for some reason.
- Autostart Server Instance: Controls whether or not the server will start up when TCP/IP is started, such as after an IPL or system backup run.
