When EAServer uses an Adaptive Server Enterprise database running on UNIX, you can configure the number of user connections, but that number cannot exceed the number of file descriptors available to Adaptive Server on the operating system. When configuring Adaptive Server user connections, the system administrator should consider the number of file descriptors available for each process. Although most of the open file descriptors are available for user connections, a few are used by Adaptive Server for opening files and devices.
When EAServer uses an Adaptive Server Enterprise database running on Windows, you can create more than 6000 user connections.
For information about configuring user connections, see these Adaptive Server Enterprise books on the Sybase Product Manuals Web site:
