How to Configure the Number of Connections to Other Machines

Search for	Example	Results
A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

This task describes how to configure the number of connections per second that a Data Flow Probe is allowed to create to other machines. You configure these settings in the globalsettings.xml file which is located in the Adapter Management module under Resources pane > Packages > AutoDiscoveryContent > Configuration Files.

To configure the number of connections per second created by the Probe to other machines:

In the globalsettings.xml file, configure the properties listed below as follows:

Property	Description
maximumConnectionsPerSecond	Enables limiting the number of new connections per second created by the Probe to other machines. 0. Unlimited number of connections allowed. > 0. The maximum number of connections. If this limit is reached, any job trying to create a new connection will wait for a period of time that is determined in the timeToSleepWhenMaximumConnectionsLimitReached property (see below) Default: 0 (unlimited)
timeToSleepWhenMaximum ConnectionsLimitReached	Determines how long (in milliseconds) a job needs to wait until a new connection can be created, assuming the maximumConnectionsPerSecond limit has been reached. Default: 1000 milliseconds (1 second) Note If maximumConnectionsPerSecond = 0, this property is ignored.

Property

Description

maximumConnectionsPerSecond

Enables limiting the number of new connections per second created by the Probe to other machines.

0. Unlimited number of connections allowed.
> 0. The maximum number of connections. If this limit is reached, any job trying to create a new connection will wait for a period of time that is determined in the
timeToSleepWhenMaximumConnectionsLimitReached
property (see below)

Default: 0 (unlimited)

timeToSleepWhenMaximum
ConnectionsLimitReached

Determines how long (in milliseconds) a job needs to wait until a new connection can be created, assuming the maximumConnectionsPerSecond limit has been reached.

Default: 1000 milliseconds (1 second)

Note If maximumConnectionsPerSecond = 0, this property is ignored.
