Specifies the maximum number of client connections the DB2 access service can handle at one time.
MaxSvcConnections=[integer | MaxConnections]
1–n, where n is the maximum number of client connections allowed by the server.
MaxConnections property value of the DirectConnect server
integer is a number of client connections.
The server MaxConnections property determines the maximum number of client connections. For information about MaxConnections, see the Enterprise Connect Data Access and Mainframe Connect Server Administration Guide.
The Allocate property value can affect the number of client connections:
If the Allocate property is set to connect, MaxSvcConnections should be equal to or less than the number of parallel APPC sessions that can be supported from the server to DB2 UDB.
If the Allocate property is set to request, you can set the MaxSvcConnections property to a value greater than the number of parallel APPC sessions that you configured in your APPC software. For more information about the Allocate property, see “Allocate”.
The DB2 access service does not verify the validity
of the MaxSvcConnections value.
For information about APPC connections, see your APPC software documentation for your specific DBMS and platform.
