Clarifying Information
Error Message
Defect/Enhancement Number
Cause
Resolution Orbix 3.3 (starting with release 3.3.10) provides the ability of starting the Orbix daemon process (orbixd) with the Active Connection Management (ACM) feature. When ACM is enabled the Orbix daemon disconnects least recently used connections when the number of active file descriptors reaches the connection limit mark

In order to enable ACM the Orbix daemon process needs to be started with the -a option as follows:
orbixd -a

When ACM is enabled the Orbix daemon will print out the following message when it starts up:
[orbixd: ACM option is enabled]

To view diagnostic messages configuration variable IT_DIAGNOSTIC_LEVEL needs to be set to 3.

The ACM feature can be configured through the following two variables.

IT_DAEMON_CONNECTION_LIMIT
This configuration variable defines the maximum number of connections that the Orbix daemon accepts before it starts to reap the least recently used connections.

Default Value: 1008
Value Range: 2-1008

IT_DAEMON_CONNECTION_REAP_NUMBER
This configuration variable indicates the number of least recently used connections that are to be closed. This occurs when the IT_DAEMON_CONNECTION_LIMIT value is reached. Its function is to enable users to reap many connections during one iteration.

Default Value: 1
Value Range: 1- IT_DAEMON_CONNECTION_LIMIT value
