Changing the number of maximum users

Post by Petsvakala »

Hi everyone.

Based on the IBM track(https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview ... wg21344507) when you have reached the maximum number of users in Analyst, you can expand that number in Analyst by choosing Tools> Options >'Maximum Analyst and Manager Users.

Does this mean that this procedure has to be performed on every users machine? I am asking because we didn't find a single place in server where to make this change once and all the users would be affected.


Thank you.

Hi Petsvakala,

Maximum number of users is an Analyst server configuration parameter stored in FileSys.ini file in your Analyst UNC folders under bin. The parameter in this file is MaxUsers. When you change it in Analyst user interface the change is saved to this file, and then in order for the change to take effect all of the users should log out from Analyst and nobody will be able to login back until everyone logs out after you make this change. Therefore when changing this parameter, you should take this into consideration.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
