- The maximum number of remote client servers that can be started on the
system. The value specified is always incremented by 1 to provide a server for the
primary login broker. Note: The maximum value for the number of servers that may be started for a database is limited by available resources of the operating system.
Note that Maximum Servers (-Mn) can be updated while the
database is running.
A performance trade-off to consider for the number of servers is the swapping overhead for many servers versus overloading (slowing down) a smaller number of servers with too many clients. For more information about controlling memory use, see Manage the OpenEdge Database.
Also, use Minimum Clients per Server (-Mi) to adjust the actual number of servers in use. See the Maximum Clients Per Server (-Ma) and Minimum Clients per Server (-Mi) startup parameters for more information.
