Situation
The server is configured to have the default number of maximum database
connections.
The MaxPoolSize value in the zdm.xml configuration file is set to 100.
Monitoring the number connections to the database port using netstat shows that the number can exceed 100.
The MaxPoolSize value in the zdm.xml configuration file is set to 100.
Monitoring the number connections to the database port using netstat shows that the number can exceed 100.
Resolution
This is expected behavior: both main ZCM Primary server processes connecting to the SQL
database, zenloader
and zenserver,
maintain their own database connection pool. Both pools can grow up
to the configured MaxPoolSize number. So
effectively the maximum number connections is actually twice the
configured number.
ZENworks Reporting Server has additional database connections not controlled by this MaxPoolSize value.
ZENworks Reporting Server has additional database connections not controlled by this MaxPoolSize value.
Note also in 11.3 and later, the inventory process and zenloader batch process maintain a separate connection pool of 100 in addition to above. Additionally, zenloader and zenserver maintain connections to the Adit Database.

Additional Information
The zdm.xml is
located at:
- Windows: %zenworks_home%\conf\datamodel
- Linux: /etc/opt/novell/zenworks/datamodel
By default the MaxPoolSize value is:
"...
<entry key="MaxPoolSize">100</entry>
