How to Configure the Number of Connections to Other Machines

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:

  1. 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.

  2. Save your changes.
