This really would depend on the size of your box. I am assuming with 7K users you have your mid-tier setup in a load balanced environment, if not that better be one monstor you have installed your mid-tier on.. I have heard in the past somewhere that its good to allocate upto about 4 MB of memory per expected concurrent user so with 7K users if about 60% of them should be using it concurrently, you are looking at a region of 16 GB upwards of total memory (all 3 boxes combined).. With memory as 'cheap' as it can go these days, I would even try to go all the way and consider all the 7K users as concurrent and build your environment so you are not short changed on memory when you actually have your users use the web.. 8 GB per machine would sound like a reasonable number.. Your max number of connection per server could be adjusted accordingly.. Joe

It is the first time we are delving into any extensive use of the Mid Tier. That being said we will be conducting training for the next month. We have a total of 7k users to train. We have a total of 3 mid tier boxes. Two are 7.1 and one is 7.0.1. My question revolves around the setting for Maximum Connections per Server in the config tool. Has anyone determined a good number for this setting? Thanks, Roger A.
