Maximum number of clients reached 

Prerequisites

SAProuter does not accept a connection and outputs the following error message:

LOCATION

SapRouter on myhost

ERROR

maximum number of clients reached

   

TIME

.....

....

....

This means that SAProuter cannot accept any further clients because the maximum number has been reached (default 800). SAProuter continues execution with all other clients.

Procedure

In order not to have to restart SAProuter (and thereby end all existing connections), you should perform a soft shutdown of the SAProuter with option -p; SAProuter will continue running on a different port. SAProuter can then be started on the old port, possibly with a larger number of clients (see option -C <clients>). It will then accept clients again.
