M204.1496  No session blocks available for link token

An attempt was made to open an inbound or an outbound process. There are no sessions available at the moment to support the conversation.

Response: This is a temporary condition. All network resources allocated by the system manager are presently in use by other Horizon conversations. As these terminate, the resources again become available. Wait for a while, and try again. If the situation persists, contact your system manager.

System manager response: An attempt was made to allocate a new conversation. The network link presently has no free sessions available. This limit was established by the SESSIONS parameter of the DEFINE LINK command for the link named in the message.

Sessions become available as conversations end (that is, as processes are closed). The user may be able to start a conversation when the network is less busy. Alternatively, you may choose to increase the SESSIONS parameter to permit greater concurrent use of the link. You can do this with another DEFINE LINK command, after having first closed the link.

Remember, though, that other resources may also have to be increased, such as PROCESSGROUP INLIMIT and OUTLIMIT, the number of IODEV 27 threads, and possibly SPCORE.

It is recommended that you set the SESSIONS parameter to 50% more than the number of inbound conversations expected. There should be as many IODEV 27 threads as there are sessions.
