I have one topic testTopic and 3 subscriptions to do different jobs. i am not using testtopic2 its empty topic.

Answer 1

This error indicates that you have more than 100 concurrent processes connected to the Topic. Each time your create a MessagingFactory or Topic/SubscriptionClient it will be a connection to the Topic. If you can share any code snippets then we can confirm, but looks like there is some loop that may just be creating more and more client connections (maybe 1 per message)?
