Sessions Communication Parameter

Sets the maximum number of clients that can communicate with the server at one time through a single LAN adapter.

Usage

NetBIOS. Server side only.

Description

The default setting is operating-system specific. The value is an integer, with maximum value 254.

NetBIOS network software has a limit to the number of commands allowed per machine. SAP Sybase IQ uses these NetBIOS commands, and disallows further connections if the system has no more commands available, even if the number of NetBIOS commands is fewer than the value of the Sessions parameter.

Default

OS-specific. On Windows, the default is 16.

Example

The following statement starts a server with a database named iqdemo, allowing 200 NetBIOS connections:

start_iq -x netbios(sessions=200) iqdemo.db
