JDBC Connection pools and clusters (is max connection for entire cluster?)

[Former Member]

Hi,

Quick question.

When using JDBC connection pools in WAS 6.40 (SP13) in a clustered environment. Are the max connections the number

a)Each application server can use

b)The entire cluster can use

Would believe a), but I'd like it confirmed from someoneelse

Hi Dagfinn,

your assumption is correct. Therefore, in a cluster environment you'd need to make sure the DB can open <i>Number of nodes X max connections</i>.
