Question
Q1: When installing a Release Automation environment, what maximum database session threshold should be set?
Q2: Can this setting be configured through Release Automation?
Answer
A1: For databases such as, for example, Oracle 11g, it is usually safe to maintain the default maximum value of 50. A DBA may raise to a somewhat higher value such as 200 if they deem the need to do so, but it usually should not be set any higher.
A2: Release Automation does not enforce maximum sessions and thus had no direct control over the setting.
