Performance and scalability

A maximum of 200 active concurrent StarTeam Web Client users can be supported on one instance of the StarTeam Web Server. If no more than 200 users are actively performing operations in the StarTeam Web Client, the number of concurrent users may be higher. To support more than 200 active concurrent users, put them on another instance of the StarTeam Web Server.

An instance of the StarTeam Web Server can provide access to thirty or more StarTeam views. The number of views supported is impacted by the size of the views and the amount of memory provided to the process. To increase the amount of memory made available to the StarTeam Web Server, see Changing the Memory Allocated to the Web Server.
