Description

Resolution:
Description: Each connection from the InConcert server to the client is via an RV call.  This is actually a socket and that resolves down to a file handle.  Normally the socket is only open a short time but if you have a great number of connections going on or are running your applet and using
threads you can have a lot more connections that stay open longer.

Increasing the number of file handles will fix the problem.  See description for an explanation.

You can increase the system-wide soft limit of the number of open files per
process. Add the following entry to the /etc/system file then reboot your
system.

set rlim_fd_cur = 512

(Max value = 1024)

This was found in the Solaris System Admin Guide list of error messages:

Too many open files

           Cause A process has too many files open at once.  The system
    imposes a per-process soft limit on open files, OPEN_MAX (usually
    64), which can be increased, and a per-process hard limit (usually
    1024), which cannot be increased.

           Action You can control the soft limit from the shell.  In
    the C shell, use the limit command to increase the number of
    descriptors.  In the Bourne or Korn shells, use the ulimit command
    with the -n option to increase the number of file descriptors.

           If the window system refuses to start new applications
    because of this error, increase the open file limit in your login
    shell before starting the window system.

       Technical Notes The symbolic name for this error is EMFILE, errno=24.
