Multi user question: Limit on number concurrent users

[Vanessa]

We have a project concerning schools and people can apply with an Ebase form connected with our content management system.

Is there a limit on the number of people who can open the form without problems?

There is no simple answer I'm afraid. Ebase itself does not impose any limits on concurrent users running the same form.

However, there are many other factors which could influence this. Here are some of them:

• - Processor speed of server where Ebase is installed
  
  - The application server (Tomcat?) configuration - application servers are scalable. Can be clustered as a group of distributed servers - ie. Tomcat utilising several servers
  
  - Whether the form is performing database updates - this could lead to database records being locked - depends on the database being used
  
  - The design of the form itself - for example - if it performs many database reads and updates
  
  - The design of the database tables used by the form
  
  - Ebase licence - maxRuntimeUsers setting
