Hello Gurus - Does anyone out there uses the "is/use_uds = 0" parameter in any of your SAP instance? From SAP's documentation this parameter is only for Linux OS, and for AIX this parameter should be set to 0 (we are using AIX). We have had a situation in one of our dialog instance where we exhausted the number of network socket connections, particularly sapstream3303 gateway conections. SAP support has recomended a solution describe in SAP note 488036, basically setting is/use_uds = 0 (default value = 1). Does anyone out there using is/use_uds = 0 in an AIX environment? If so, did you notice any performance improvement or did the new parameter value resolved the issue ?
Please let me know.
Thanks.

Reason and Prerequisites
In the AIX operating system, the dispatcher and the message server process communicate by Unix domain sockets instead of a TCP/IP line. The maximum size of the Unix domain socket buffer is restricted to 4KB by the operating system. In the case of a large load, this can result in a buffer overflow on the system, and subsequently the symptoms described above.
Solution
Change the internal system communication to TCP/IP. To do this, follow the Kernel releases up to and including 6.40:steps below:
For example: The following entry exists in /etc/services for the system name C11 and system number 00: sapmsC11 3600/tcp. Therefore, the file name in this example should be /tmp/.sapstream3600 and MUST belong to the root user. |
