GLOBAL - Maximum Local Users
The maximum number of concurrent local user processes that may access NetBase at any one time.
Each user process accessing at least one remote file or for who statistics are being collected is
considered a local user. The maximum is 2048 user processes. Local users do not include processes
that are using the SHADOWING subsystem only. This parameter takes effect when NetBase is started.
Default = 0
Maximum = 2048
NFA - Maximum Remote Users
The maximum number of concurrent remote users that may access this node at one time. Again,
each remote process accessing at least one local file is considered a remote user. The maximum is
2500 remote user processes. This parameter takes effect when NetBase is started.
Default = 0
Maximum = 2500
NFA - Release Server on Last Close
If this parameter is set to Y, the server allocated to a remote process will be released when the last
open remote file is closed. If this parameter is set to N, the server is not released until the remote
process terminates. This parameter takes effect when new user processes are started.
Default = N
NFA - Initial Server Allocation
The number of remote server processes to pre-allocate. When NetBase is started, it creates and
suspends this number of server processes. When a new remote process attempts to access the local
node, NetBase merely “wakes up” one of the suspended servers. However, when all the servers are
assigned to remote processes, or if this parameter is set to zero, new server processes must be
created.
Pre-allocating servers reduces system overhead. This may be set to any value between 0 and the
maximum number of remote users. The NBCTRL SET command can be used to dynamically alter
this value. This parameter takes effect when NetBase is started.
Default = 0
