Multiple listen threads
You can improve service for connection requests by using multiple listen threads.
If the database
server cannot service connection requests satisfactorily for a given
interface/protocol combination with a single port and corresponding
listen thread, you can improve service for connection requests in
the following ways:
- By adding listen threads for additional ports.
- By adding listen threads to the same port if you have the onimcsoc or onsoctcp protocol
- By adding another network-interface card.
- By dynamically starting, stopping, or restarting listen threads for a SOCTCP or TLITCP network protocol, using SQL administration API or onmode -P commands.
If you have multiple listen threads for one port for the onsoctcp protocol, the database server can accept new connections if a CPU VP connection is busy.
