Description

While trying to add another connection to an application running on our server, we got the following error on the console, that just stopped when we removed the connection:

2011-06-02 15:20:40.860-0300 ThreadPool-2 WARN com.streambase.sb.sbd.net.NetServer - Main acceptor has exception: I/O exception: Too many open files

Resolution

The operating system has a limit of the number of open file descriptors. With enough container connections, it is possible to exceed that limit. You can check your limit by typing "ulimit -a" and reviewing output.

Try resetting the file limit as follows:To set a higher hard-limit on Linux, please see this article (not TIBCO) or consult your IT system administrator.
