Increasing the maximum possible threads between Essbase Server and the Agent allows multiple users to log on and connect to an application and database simultaneously.
Use the AGENTTHREADS and AGTSVRCONNECTIONS configuration settings to control the maximum number of threads created to perform the initial connection to Essbase Server:
AGTSVRCONNECTIONS maximum_number_of_threads
Keep the maximum_number_of_threads value for AGTSVRCONNECTIONS equal to or less than the value for AGENTTHREADS to avoid wasting resources. Each connection requires one thread each from the server and Agent, so there is no need for higher values for AGTSVRCONNECTIONS. See the Oracle Essbase Technical Reference.
