Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Deployment:
Startup Command and Parameter Reference

Maximum JTA Transactions (-maxxids)

Use Maximum JTA Transactions (-maxxids) to control the number of JTA transactions simultaneously allowed.

Operating system and syntax	UNIX Windows	-maxxxids n
Use with	Maximum value	Minimum value1	Single-user default	Multi-user default2
Database Server	32,000	0, (users)/2	–	0, 100

1For a JTA-enabled database, the minimum value is (users)/2 where users is the value of the Number of Users (-n) startup parameter. For a database not enabled for JTA, the minimum is 0. 2For a JTA-enabled database, the default is 100. For a database not enabled for JTA, the default is 0.

n

The maximum number of simultaneous JTA transactions allowed.

JTA transactions rely on an external transaction manager to control transaction commit and rollback. OpenEdge SQL supports the Java Transaction API (JTA) thus enabling the database to function as a resource manager as defined in the J2EE framework architecture. Because the transactions are controlled by an external transaction manager, they may take a long time to complete.

For more information on distributed transactions with JTA, see OpenEdge Data Management: Database Administration .
