Add the setting in SSP or PS can redirect incoming traffic to a different adapter after the adapter reaches its maximum session limit

For sftp clients from our external clients, their TCP sessions remain ESTABLISHED even though after users logoff.

As a result, the Maximum Session limit of the SFTP adapter will be reached frequently. However, even though the session limit is reached, incoming traffic keeps hitting the same adapter, but not being re-directed to other adapters. This is causing connection problems.


Can add a setting in SSP or PS that redirects incoming traffic to a different adapter after the adapter reaches the maximum session limit?

    We have reviewed the idea and have decided to do an enhancement in SSP which would allow the SSP SFTP adapter to take the listener down if it reaches the maximum limit so that it gets routed to a different adapter. We'll deliver this enhancement in one of the future releases based on the roadmap priorities.
    Thank you once again for your patience.
