SAP Term: connection pooling

• Component: BC-JAS

• Component Name: Java Application Server

• Key Concepts: 
  Connection pooling is a feature of the BC-JAS Java Application Server that allows multiple connections to be established between a client and a server. This allows for faster communication between the two, as the server does not need to establish a new connection for each request. Instead, it can reuse existing connections from the pool. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Connection pooling can be enabled in the BC-JAS Java Application Server by setting the “maxConnections” parameter in the configuration file. This parameter specifies the maximum number of connections that can be established between the client and server. Once this parameter is set, the server will automatically create and manage a pool of connections for use by clients. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When configuring connection pooling, it is important to set the “maxConnections” parameter to an appropriate value. If this value is too low, then performance may suffer as requests will have to wait for an available connection from the pool. On the other hand, if this value is too high, then resources may be wasted as unused connections will remain in the pool.
