Client-to-server connections for Rational DOORS

The number of connections that can be made from the client to the database server are limited. That number varies depending on the operating system that the Rational® DOORS® database server is running on.

The connection limits are shown in the following table. If you exceed the maximum number of connections, data might be corrupted.

Operating system Maximum number of connections
Windows 1024
Linux 900

Limits in Linux environments

By default, the file descriptor limit on Linux systems is 1024. That limit is the optimum amount for running Rational DOORS. Although the maximum number of connections for Linux systems is 900, setting the file descriptor limit to 1024 allows some users to use multiple descriptors. Do not change the limit.
