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:

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.
