Re: Number maxim of concurrent conexions



the only place where IDS actually enforces number of connections
is via the NETTYPE parameter in onconfig file. Please see the
manual for more information on this (or past e-mails in this list ... :)
However there are other possible reason for a restriction:
- number of open files when soctcp connection protocol is used,
because for each socket connection a file descriptor is needed.
This usually is an OS parameter.

On Linux you can see this value with "/sbin/sysctl fs.file-max", it is
unlikely to be the issue on a 2.6.x kernel as the default is very high.
Perhaps you can ulimits applied to the Informix user?

- SHM (segment) limitations when ipcshm protocol is used.
Each SHM connection needs some SHM in the "message segment(s)".
If running out of SHM it will impose a limit.
That's what currently comes to my mind.
The actual error and circumstances may reveal more insight.

Same, like the above "/sbin/sysctl kernel.shmmax". But my guess is
NETTYPE values need to be increased.
