Hi,
We are on IDS 9.4 TC9 on Windows 2003 EE OS.
The server has two quadcore processors. In windows task manager it actually shows 16 processors (that's because of 8 cores x 2 because of Hyperthreading).
We have 16 GB of RAM.
We are using Informix as database for our Baan IV C4 ERP s/w.
The query is that the I never see more than 1 or 2 cpu getting used. The CPU utilization remains at not more than 25% max. Even the max RAM getting used is 2 GB.
How do I make the server use more resources i.e.all 16 processors and 16 GB ram to get max performance.
I tried to set parameter "PDQPRIORITY 80" but it has no effect.
When I set it as an Envoirnment variable Baan users were not able to log. In informix log I found the following error "connection rejected - no calls allowed for sqlexec " hence had to remove the variable.
(how do I attach onstat -a output to the message ?)
the ONCONFIG IS AS FOLLOWS :

# 0 : cannot add logical log on the fly. (OFF)
#
# When dynamic logging is on, we can have higher values for LTXHWM/LTXEHWM,
# because the server can add new logical logs during long transaction rollback.
# However, to limit the number of new logical logs being added, LTXHWM/LTXEHWM
# can be set to smaller values.
#
# If dynamic logging is off, LTXHWM/LTXEHWM need to be set to smaller values
# to avoid long transaction rollback hanging the server due to lack of logical
# log space, i.e. 50/60 or lower.
#
# In case of system configured with CDR the difference between LTXHWM and
# LTXEHWM should be atleast 30% so that we could minimize log overrun issue.
