This defaults to 10, which is fairly low (we have thousands of clients that might periodically be calling it). What is a reasonable limit to set? Right now i have it at 200, but now sure if thats too high/low. I imagine there wont be many simultaneous connections, since they are all quick push/pull commands.
Good question. I’d start with a guess of a clients:connections ratio of 20:1 and adjust from there. Maybe use port monitoring software to check the load. Or, if you want to get fancy, enclose your web service calls in profiling blocks and then see how the connection count affects response times.
We have ours set at 100, and we use Pulse to submit all of our jobs, in addition to some users using it to stream reports (so it’s getting pretty heavy rotation). I think I have only seen one or two connection errors on submission so far.
Thanks for the responses!
