Shared-Memory Parameter Guidelines
The recommended value for
LOGBUFF
 is 16 pages, or 16 multiplied by
BUFFSIZE
. (
BUFFSIZE
is the machine-specific page size and the last parameter
listed in tbconfig.std.) The default value is 32
KB
.
LOGSMAX
LOGSMAX
 specifies the maximum number of logical log files that OnLine
supports. OnLine requires at least three logical log files for operation. In
general, you can set the value of
LOGSMAX
equal to the value of
LOGFILES
. If
you plan to relocate the logical log files out of the root dbspace after you
initialize OnLine, assign
LOGSMAX
the value of
LOGFILES,
plus 3. The reason
for this is explained on
log files to another dbspace.
The default value of
LOGSMAX
is 6. The maximum number of logical log files
that you can display using
DB-M
onitor is 50. (You can display any number of
log files using the tbstat utility.)
CLEANERS
CLEANERS
 specifies the number of additional page-cleaner daemon
processes available during OnLine operation. (By default, one page-cleaner
process is always available.)
A general guideline is one page cleaner per physical device, up to a
maximum of eight. You might be able to tune the value to achieve an increase
in performance. Refer to
The maximum value for
CLEANERS
 is 32. The minimum value is 0. The
default value is 1. (The value specified has no effect on the size of shared
memory.)
SHMBASE
SHMBASE
specifies the base address where shared memory is attached to the
memory space of a user process. Do not change the value of
SHMBASE
. The
default value for
SHMBASE
 is platform-dependent.
DB-M
onitor does not
prompt for this value during initialization. For more information about the
role of
SHMBASE
 in initialization, refer to
