file descriptor

Hi,

I am a newbie in this, currently I face this problem where my application server running on Solaris 8, Sun Application Server 7, has been throwing the following error:

Pr_proc_desc_table_full_error: file descriptor.

This has caused the application to be very unstable. Checked with SUN app server 7 documentation online says there is a need to set the rlim_fd_max value to 4086. The current value = 1024.

I need advice if this value should be changed to a higher value (4086 or higher)? And that this setting is set on the SUN OS level? Or you have any suggestion or concern? Please help.

Thaks
