GOAL:
When increasing -n number at startup, do I need to change anything else?
GOAL:
Considerations when modifying -n parameter
GOAL:
How to increase the -n
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
Progress/OpenEdge Product Family
FIX:
If the number of users in the license allows it, the -n can be increased at database startup using the -n parameter.
If the additional users are connecting remotely via TCP, you should also verify need to increase the maximum number of server processes (the -Mn parameter).
The maximum number of TCP users that can connect is:
(max servers * max clients per server)
or
(-Mn * -Ma).
Note that clients running on another machine do not consume much system resources on the database server machine.
Except for the (shared) database server processes themselves of course.
If the database is started already, shut it down with proshut -by before making the changes, and restart it with the new parameters.
Please refer to the Database Administration Guide for further information about increasing other related parameters, such as -Mn and -Ma.
