SQL Connections

I am currently sitting in a training class for BO, using MS SQL Server 6.0…monitoring so that nothing goes wrong. I was just paged by our DBA stating that the server had 24 connections to the universe domain (which is the number of students in the class), but 54 connections to the security domain???

Is there any reason why this is the case? All users are not doing anything at this point…shouldn’t it release the connection?

I think you need to define your repository connection to disconnect after each transaction if that is what you want. I believe BusinessObjects will create a separate connection for the universe domain, but if that is on the same box it will create a second connection when it imports the universe. That way you could have more connections than people.

When you create the connection to the repository for the bomain.key, in the same window where you input the login parameters, go to the Advanced tab, and choose the Connection Property ‘Disconnect after each transaction.’

This should help keep the number of open connections to a minimum.

What if the connection is already created and you already have a lot of users installed…is there any way to change it now?

For the Universe and Document domain you can go to Tools/Repository/Modify. For the security domain, you might have to recreate the BOMAIN.KEY

How can I do this for the security domain without having to recreate the bomain.key. Is there a value in M_GEN_PAR that I can change?

Tim,

Unfortunately, you will have to recreate and redistribute the bomain.key. All the connections saved by BusinessObjects are encrypted, so the only ways to modify a connection are:

  1. Through Supervisor/Tools/Repository for universe/document domain connections, and
  2. Through Safe Recovery for the Security domain.

In designer click “tool” then “connection”. Select your ODBC connection and “edit”. This is where you will find your advanced tab and make the changes!
