Login Governor (-nGovernor)

Use Login Governor (-nGovernor) to specify the maximum number of users who can login for a tenant in a multi-tenant database.

Operating system and syntax UNIX / Windows -nGovernor n
Use with Maximum value Minimum value Single-user default Multi-user default
Database Server 32000 1 — 0
n
The maximum number of users.
Note: Login governor applies to the default tenant and a regular tenant. This governor does not apply to super-tenants and non multi-tenant databases.

Login governor prevents a single tenant from using all the database connections, preventing other tenants from logging in. When a user attempts to log into a database, and the available login resource allocation for the tenant has been exceeded, an error message is recorded in the database log as: 

Attempt to exceed tenant login governor for tenant <tenant ID>. Increase -n or -nGovernor.

The PROMON utility helps you to monitor and change Login Governor values. For more information on how the PROMON utility monitors online Login Governor, see Manage the OpenEdge Database.
