Managing WIP connections

You should configure enough database Work-in-Progress (WIP) connections to accommodate potential runtime-driven work-load.

To do so, add the following property to the [Event_Management] section of the InterchangeSystem.cfg file:

MIN_CONNECTIONS = n

Where

n=sum_of_all_max_threads_for_collabs_used_simultaneously_plus_num
_connectors 

The sum_of_all_max_threads_for_collabs_used_simultaneously is the sum of the Maximum number of concurrent events settings of all the collaboration objects.

Setting a sufficient minimum number of WIP connections helps eliminate the possibility of a server crash in circumstances where the server is attempting to reboot, and all connectors are trying to do WIP work while all collaboration threads are undergoing wip-commit.
