fork failure 1

[eerdman]

AIX 4.3.1. A dedicated application box for payroll/HR (still in final throes of installation). I have started to get: &quot;fork failure - too many processes already running&quot; when trying to access the system either via telnet or Oracle client. What establishes this limit, where is it kept, and can it be changed.<br>
TIA,<br>
Ed

There's a limit of processes per user.<br>
<br>
The command [ lsattr -E -l sys0 ] will give you the current values and you can change it with [ chdev -l sys0 -a maxuproc='1000' ]<br>
<br>
You don't need to know the command and can directly access a dedicated menu with [ smitty chgsys ]<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>

Thanks a lot Patrice! I have been searching thru the IBM references pages until I get blue in the face without any luck! I was sure there was something like this, but it is never as easy to find as it is in Linux!
