The hotfix that is discussed in this article limits the number of clients that can connect to Message Queuing. This hotfix adds two registry entries that may cause the client to have its connection reset when that client tries to connect to Message Queuing. This behavior occurs if the threshold is reached. The client must wait until another connection is available.
The new registry entries follow:
- MaxInSessions
- WaitMaxInSessions
The new registry entries are located in the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\msmq\parameters
Use the following table to configure the new registry entries:
|
| MaxInSessions | DWORD | This value represents the actual number of sessions that Message Queuing lets connect at the same time. When this value is -1, or if the MaxInSessions new registry entry is not present, there is no change. The number of connections is not limited. |
| WaitMaxInSessions | DWORD | This value represents the time interval in milliseconds that Message Queuing waits until it verifies the number of active sessions. Message Queuing does this to verify whether new sessions can be accepted. This entry only applies if the MaxInSessions new registry entry is present, and the number-of-sessions limit is reached. |
