Operating Condition
Syntax: SET MAXTRANS value
Range: 1 to 1295
Default: 201
Mode: Transaction Processing
SET MAXTRANS specifies the maximum number of users who can have the same database open concurrently with transaction processing on.
Only the first user to connect to a closed database can enter the MAXTRANS setting for that database. Enter the command before connecting to the database. If anyone else already has the database open, R:BASE displays a message telling you that your SET MAXTRANS command will have no effect on the database.
MAXTRANS can affect system performance. The higher the MAXTRANS setting, the more overhead the system must carry to process transactions across the network. Also, the more users who are actually entering transactions, the slower the system operates.
