OpenEdge Architect has exceeded the maximum number of connections allowed for the database. Architect can use multiple database connections in one or more of the following ways:
- Each open project that connects to a given database and does not use a shared AVM, uses one ABL connection.
- Any open projects that use a shared AVM which connects to a given database, use one ABL connection which is shared among them.
- RUN configurations by default launch their own AVM's that have their own database connections.
- When the DB Navigator has an active connection to the database, that connection is a SQL connection. If the database login broker serves both ABL and SQL clients, once a server has been started for a SQL client any remaining connections allowed for that server can only be used for SQL connections; they are unavailable for ABL connections (and vice versa).
