# ActivateChannelMode

Whether to return MaxResults information from each virtual database (VDB).

If you are running the Distributed Action Handler in non-mirror mode, set `ActivateChannelMode` to `true` to return the MaxResults number of results for each VDB when a `Query` or `SuggestOnText` action is run. Normally it returns only the MaxResults of the merged results.

For example, if six VDBs are configured in Distributed Action Handler, and a `Query` or `SuggestOnText` action is run with the `MaxResults` action parameter set to 6, up to 36 results can return. The returned results are sorted according to the VDBs they belong to. Within each VDB set the results are sorted according to the specified `Sort` option.
