COMPATIBILITY FILE_DESCRIPTOR_LIMIT

COMPATIBILITY FILE_DESCRIPTOR_LIMIT

Running FairCom Server with insufficient file descriptors can lead to errors opening files. See FILES.

This compatibility keyword overrides the behavior described in FILES in case it is not convenient for a system administrator to set the file descriptor limit for the FairCom Server process to the required value or it is not desired to decrease the FILES or CONNECTIONS settings.

Note: Using this keyword is not recommended. It is provided for backward compatibility or short-term use until the administrator is able to increase the file descriptor limit for the FairCom Server process.

A message is logged to CTSTATUS.FCS explaining that the COMPATIBILITY FILE_DESCRIPTOR_LIMIT configuration option can be used to allow the server to start in this situation:

- User# 00001 ERROR: The hard limit on file descriptors available to this process (500) is lower than the database engine's file descriptor requirement (1043). Either increase the hard limit, or decrease the FILES or CONNECTIONS settings.

- User# 00001 Note: The configuration option COMPATIBILITY FILE_DESCRIPTOR_LIMIT can be used to allow c-tree Server to start even if the file descriptor limit is insufficient. However, this can lead to errors opening files.
