SI_NAMEDUSER Property

Remarks

You can set the connection type that the user will use to concurrent or named; the default is concurrent. The type of connection used depends on how the system administrator wants to distribute product licenses. For example, there may be 100 users, but only 50 licenses. A named connection will reserve one of the 50 licenses, ensuring that a particular user has access to the system at all times. A concurrent connection does not offer the same guarantee: it is part of a pool of connections shared by other users. If all of the licenses are in use, then the user must wait until one becomes available.
