Maximum Open File Descriptors

When running large user centric tests, or on a system that has a number of BPM nodes running under the same user, consider increasing the maximum number of open file descriptors that are configured for the user.

The ulimit –n command can be used to display the user’s current configuration.

For smaller systems, consider a soft limit of 4096. For larger tests, this has should be increased in the /etc/security/limits.conf file to: 

* soft nofile 8196
* hard nofile 65536
