On UNIX, concurrent client connections to EAServer are limited by the operating system limit for the number of file descriptors that can be opened in one process. Before you start the server, set the file descriptor limit in the shell where you will start the server as follows:
Use a text editor to open the bin/local-setenv.sh file. Create this file if it does not exist.
Add the following line to specify the number of descriptors:
ulimit -n NNNN
Where NNNN is the number of descriptors. See your UNIX documentation for more details on the ulimit command. On some systems you may need to also adjust the system-wide limit. For example, to use more than 1024 descriptors on Solaris, you must modify the /etc/system file and modify the rlim_fd_max setting, for example:
set rlim_fd_max = 4096
