We're currently in the process of putting together a justification for beefing up our servers etc because we are running out of resources. One of the figures we want to trap is the maximum number of concurrent users that the database has had connected since the last restart. I know I can use the _Connect table to get a snapshot of any particular point in time, but do you know if the VSTs keep a high water mark for this figure somewhere?
 
AFAIK - There is an _License table which holds that information. Plus it's contents can also be found in the infamous .lic file which resides in the same directory where the .db file is located. Since Progress consultants from time to time use it to determine whether you violate your license agreement with them I think it should be sufficient.

Heavy Regards, RealHeavyDude.
 
Be careful of the 10.2B bugs around the _License counts. Before SP05, each probkup online increments the connection counts when it starts but doesn't decrement them when done. The result is that over time, your counts fluctuate up and down through the day, but trend up and up and up. They aren't correct.
