Explain parameter maxResultSets


Issue raised by: Oreste Signore 2 May 1996


Synopsis:
What does the parameter "maxResultSets" of Targetinfo in Explain mean?

Response:
The maximum number of concurrent result sets, for any given origin association.

Thus if the value is 2, say an origin creates (via a search) result set A, then B; a subsequent attempt to create C will exceed the maximum (note however that the target action when the maximum is exceeded is not specified; for instance, the target might unilaterally delete A in order to create C, or it might return an error), however, if the client first deletes B, then it could create result set C without exceeding the maximum.
