As a system administrator, you set a baseline number of agents and sessions available to the staging instance. As you test the instance, you may want to revisit these numbers and adjust them to improve performance.

To configure agents and sessions:
  1. Run the Proenv utility.
  2. Go to the /bin directory of your instance.
  3. Run the OEPROP utility commands to view the agent and session settings for your instance:
    oeprop.[sh|bat] AppServer.SessMgr.maxAgents
oeprop.[sh|bat] AppServer.SessMgr.maxConnectionsPerAgent
  4. Set the number of agents and sessions:
    oeprop.[sh|bat] AppServer.SessMgr.maxAgents=1
oeprop.[sh|bat] AppServer.SessMgr.maxConnectionsPerAgent=50
    Note: The values you set for the instance will be different from the defaults and from those values listed in this topic. For information about tuning a production environment, see Tune PAS for OpenEdge instances.
  5. Restart the instance using the pasman pasoestart command:
    pasman pasoestart -I instance-name -timeout 200
  6. Test and tune the instance, as necessary, for best performance. Tuning recommendations are covered in Tune PAS for OpenEdge instances.
