Documentation
Definition
Defines the maximum number of simultaneous database connections that can be opened for the logical connection names in a running SAP R/3 transaction. Additional connection requests (CONNECT) are rejected. The initial value 0 has the special meaning, that the maximum is expanded to the maximum value of the value range (255).
Use
A database connection cannot be shared by multiple SAP R/3 work processes. Each work process requires its own (private) database connections. If there are a large number of database connections and a large number of work processes, this can lead to resource problems of the database server. The parameter is suited to defining a limit for this resource usage, even during development.
Dependencies
Example
