Semaphore Sets (-semsets)

Use Semaphore Sets (-semsets) to change the number of semaphore sets available to the OpenEdge broker.

Operating system and syntax UNIX -semsets n
Use with Maximum value Minimum value Single-user default Multi-user default
Database Server Maximum Number of Users +1 1 — 3
n
An INTEGER specifying the number of semaphore sets available to the OpenEdge broker.

When more than 1,000 users connect to a single database, there might be high contention for the semaphore set. If there is a lot of semaphore contention on a system, using multiple semaphore sets helps alleviate this contention and improve performance on high user counts.

For more information on using semaphore sets, see Manage the OpenEdge Database.
