Description

The operation of ~http_compress_level depends on the value of ~http_use_compression:

• If ~http_use_compression is set to 1 , you can set ~http_compress_level to any value between 1 and 9 , where 1 is the lowest compression level and 9 is the highest level
• If ~http_use_compression is set to 1 , but you do not set a value for ~http_compress_level , the ITS sets a default value of 7
• If ~http_use_compression is set to 0 or is not present, the ITS ignores any value you set for ~http_compress_level

The higher the value set for ~http_compress_level , the better the compression achieved, but this is at the expense of processing speed:

• Level 1 achieves lowest compression level / fastest processing speed
• Level 9 achieves highest compression level / slowest processing speed

In the SAP GUI for HTML, a compression level of 7 achieves compression rates of approximately 70%, with no appreciable improvement for higher compression levels.
