Process file table is full & Too many open files

[Jeff Roubik]

I have a checkout application written using the SDK. It runs on Windows and AIX. It checks out most Starteam projects without a problem. However, one very large project I am getting either "too many open files" or "the process file table is full" errors on AIX. It runs fine on Windows. When I get the "too many open files" message I bump up my file descriptors. That gets me farther, but I then get the "process file table is full" message. I put in some discardItems() calls and that gets me farther, but I get the "too many open files" error. So, I bump up my file descriptor limit again and get the "process file table is full". I keep going in circles. I can't see any place else to put more discardItems() or discard() calls. Has anybody seen this before? Anybody got any ideas for fixing it?

Sorry, I'm not very knowledgeable of AIX.. Is there a setting that you can
change to allow more open files at a time (or is that the file descriptors
that you referred to)?

How are you loading your list of files to check out? Folder-by-folder,
using the ItemListManager class, or? There might be a way to get your lists
of files to check out in smaller pieces, perhaps sacrificing a little
performance for AIX compatibility?
