IMS SGW Enterprise: compress request/response data between ICON and IMS

We have now several "IMS SGW Enterprise" based web services in place. Especially with large IMS response messages we have bad response time in our setup with Shared Queues (20km distance). reading/writing IMS messages is very slow. As a result the data exchange between ICON and IMS should be based on compressed data (for example within IRZ-module). A threshold value should be configurable to only compress large but not small messages. This value should be configurable in the infrastructure once (example: ICON startup parameter) and not per service.

Main findings are included in file TestSummary.xls.

In the attached zip file you find example services/requests/responses/... Please have a look at the included readme.txt
