OPEN_FILES_ALERT_THRESHOLD

OPEN_FILES_ALERT_THRESHOLD <files>

Default: 0

FairCom Server now supports logging a diagnostic message to CTSTATUS.FCS whenever its total number of open files exceeds the specified threshold.

<files> is the number of open files at which FairCom Server should start logging messages to CTSTATUS.FCS. This option defaults to zero (no logging).

Once the limit is reached, a message is logged each time the current number of open files exceeds the previous high water mark. So for example, in the following situation:

OPEN_FILES_ALERT_THRESHOLD 100

Current open files = 99

1. Open a file: current open files = 100: message logged

2. Open a file: current open files = 101: message logged

3. Open a file: current open files = 102: message logged

4. Close a file: current open files = 101

5. Open a file: current open files = 102: no message logged because already logged 102

This option can be changed at runtime via ctadmn.
