We are executing a load test using Mercury's load runner and are encountering an issue
wherein after a few new virtual users log in we get a java exception
javax.naming.NamingException: Disconnected: user change
We spaced out the rate at which new virtual users began to execute and are seeing less errors, however the rate at which virtual users start is extremely slow and may not be realistic (one every 30 seconds up from one every 15 seconds). When looking at the log, the OTM home page comes up, but we encounter the error when a virtual user does logs in by typing in his/her user id and password and then hits the Login button. We are seeing 30% failure rate which is not good and by spacing out to 30 seconds interval we are seeing a 10% failure rate. It leads me to think we may be limited in the connections to the database or app server, or that using the same user id multiple times could be causing problems. Are there any property settings we should be looking at to increase this. We did create multiple users and still get the same issue. Appreciate your assistance Ramesh
