Handling Overloaded Servers

DCOM Connector makes sure that an R/3 or R/2 system cannot be overloaded by clients sending to many calls into an application server. You can configure the resources the R/3 gateway process (gwrd) allocates using the normal R/3 profile mechanism. If too many resources would be allocated by DCOM Connector three things happen:

Gateway Parameters

The following gateway profile parameters can be set to control the flow thru an R/3 gateway.

Parameter Meaning Default Value
gw/max_conn Max. number of active connections (TCP/IP as well as LU6.2 connections) on that gateway. 500
gw/max_shm_req Max. amount of request which can be stored in shared memory at one point in time (Standard request size is 32K) 50
gw/max_overflow_size Size of 'overflow' area in gateway, where requests may be stored if the shared memory area is exhausted. 1000000 Bytes
gw/max_sys Max. number of connected clients. (An R/3 system counts as 1 client) 300
gw/max_overflow_usage Gives the percentage of the overflow area being used, when the gateway starts slowing down the connected clients. 10 %
