Client-to-server connections for DOORS
The number of connections that can be made from the client to the database server are
limited. That number varies, depending on the operating system that the IBM® Engineering Requirements
Management DOORS®
(DOORS)
database server is running on. If you exceed the maximum number of connections, data might be
corrupted.
For Windows systems, the maximum number of connections is 1024.
For Linux systems, the maximum number of connections is one-half the maximum file descriptor limit, as specified for the operating system. The default maximum file descriptor limit is 1024 for each process. You can check the maximum file descriptor limit by using the command: ulimit -n
To increase the file descriptor limit, edit the file /etc/security/limits.conf and add lines, as in the following examples:
* soft nofile 1024
* hard nofile 65535
yourusername soft nofile 10000
yourusername hard nofile 30000
For more information, search online for "ulimit -n" and "limits.conf".
