Post-configuration tasks

This topic contains post configuration tasks that will help you manage a multiple server environment.

This task is part of the main task of Configuring a multiple server environment. After you complete these steps, return to Configuring a multiple server environment.

Procedure

Configure the number of database connections for every mirror, control, and source database on each server. If the number of JDBC database connections on the source database is smaller then the sum of all the database connections on the control and mirror databases, the source database will start denying database requests.
1. Configure the MAXAPPLS parameter for each source database so that the value is greater than the maximum total number of connections from all Sync Servers. The default value for the number of connections a Sync Server will issue is defined in the %DSYINSTDIR%\Server\properties\com\ibm\mobileservices\ directory.
  - Issue the following command from a DB2 command line for each source and control database:
```
update database configuration for databasename using MAXAPPLS new_value
```
  - In the DSYGdflt.properties value, set the parameter Jdbc.MaxConnections to a value that dose not exceed the value that you set for MAXAPPLS in the previous command.
2. Configure the global maximum number of database connections a database manager will allow using the MAXAGENTS parameter. MAXAGENTS should be greater than or equal to the total number of MAXAPPLS, or database connections, each Sync Server will attempt to use.
```
update dbm cfg using MAXAGENTS sum of MAXAPPLS for each mirror and 
source database  + MAXAPPLS for dsyctldb +  MAXAPPLS for DSYMSGDB
```
Ensure that content cashing in the HTTP server is disabled. To do this, change the following settings in IBM HTTP Server\conf\httpd.conf file:
#AfpaEnable #AfpaCache on #AfpaLogFile "C:/IBMHTT~1/logs/afpalog" V-ECLF
