(2) Also, you can look for this connection warning in tms.log

11/25/24 11:12:36.730 1 370 WSAAccept success: per-connection data is live [socket:2a48; Socket object:14a82790]...
When you see this "max connections" warning, the TMS server is rejecting new connection requests. In that case, increase the following registry value to allow more concurrent connections:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Datacap\TMS\InterThread\Max Connections
Set it to a higher number. I think the maximum is 9,999, which matches the per-station limit.
After changing the registry (REG_DWORD, Decimal), restart the Datacap Taskmaster Server (TMS) service.
(3) Also you may check wTM.log for this error message.

Subject: Intermittent Datacap Database Connection Issues
We have a situation where our 9.1.9 system works great for some period of time (maybe an hour). By working great I mean Datacap Desktop, TMWeb, Application Manager, etc have no database connection issues. Then for another period of time (maybe an hour) the database conections do not work for TMWeb, Datacap Desktop, application manager, etc. Then the scenario above repeats itself.
We need help with what steps to take to try to fix this.
Also please advise of the kind of logs that we might be able to look at to see any more details about the connection errors. I have not been able to locate any logs that have connection errors.
