Only one client user can log into or connect to a SQL Anywhere based project at a time

Troubleshooting


Problem

This technote explains how to resolve an issue where one client user can login or connect to a project at a time, whether through IBM® Rational® Robot, IBM Rational TestManager or IBM Rational Administrator.

Symptom

When a project's test datastore uses Sybase SQL Anywhere 8.0 for its back-end database, and only one client user can login or connect to a project at a time. When trying to connect to a tds.db file of the project on the server through Sybase Central, you receive the error:


    Database server connection limit exceeded
    Item Value
    SQLCODE -102
    Constant SQLE_TOO_MANY_CONNECTIONS
    SQLSTATE 08W03
    Sybase error code 1601
    ODBC 2 State 08004
    ODBC 3 State 08004

Cause

The probable cause is that the number of computers allowed to the connect to the server has been exceeded. If running the network database server, the limit is spelled out in the license agreement. The server may be running low on cache such that it cannot accept any more database connections. The personal database server is restricted to 10 connections.

Resolving The Problem

To resolve this issue, check the following:

  1. Is the server running low on cache?
  2. Check the number of concurrent open sessions on the server
    1. Go to the Control Panel and click on Administrative Tools
    2. Click Computer Management
    3. Expand Shared Folders and select Sessions
