Change the maximum number of scalable socket connections

If the performance of the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service isn’t optimal, you can change the maximum number of scalable socket connections that can be open at the same time between BlackBerry devices and the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service. By default, 15,000 connections are available. When you change the number of connections, you impact how much system memory and how many ports BlackBerry MDS Connection Service uses to maintain its connections with devices and how many devices can connect to the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service at one time.
Before you begin: Verify that your system memory can support the number of scalable socket connections that you want to specify.
  1. In the BlackBerry Administration Service, on the Servers and components menu, expand BlackBerry Solution topology > BlackBerry Domain > Component view > MDS Connection Service.
  2. Click the instance that you want to specify the maximum number of scalable socket connections for.
  3. On the General tab, click Edit instance.
  4. In the Socket connection settings section, in the Maximum simultaneous scalable sockets field, type a number between 100 and 20000.
    By default, the maximum number of scalable socket connections is 15000.
  5. Click Save all.
