WaitHandles error

[Grant Davidson]

Hi,
I have a quite large number of Subscription Classes spread
over two applications in one instance.
The first Application works okay, however the second
application generates the following event message(abridged)

<Description>
The number of WaitHandles must be less
than or equal to 64.
</Description>

First instinct is that this is a NS bug (or issue) and
that my solution would be to split the applications into
two different instances so that the total number of
subscriptionClasses per Instance is less than 64...but
it's just a guess. The events documentation says that a
4085 bug is an internal NS bug and to restart the
service..which doesn't make a difference. Does anyone know
or come across this before? Is their any major problem
with having two instances at the same time (apart from the
additional work needed for Subscriber management)?

Thanks in advance for any help,
Grant Davidson

This is a known issue with the product. You must restrict the number of
subscription classes and event classes combined to less than 64. The total
number of rule actions and notification classes is similarly restricted.

The restriction is imposed by .NET's WaitAll synchronization method, used in
the NS generator.

Any word on whether VS.NET 2005 with the Framework 1.2 will address this?

Thanks!

The problem has been addressed for the Sql Server 2005 version of NS.

As far as I know, the .NET behavior will remain unchanged for 2005.
