Re: What are best onconfig parameters for a DSS ap

Posted By: Art Kagel

In Response To: What are best onconfig parameters for a DSS app (FRANK J. COMPUTER)

That's tough to do in a vacuum without seeing how the server is performing
in-situ or at least historically. However, there are a couple of glaring
items.

1. If your server has 8GB or memory and the database's main table for

querying is 200MB, the a buffer cache of ~13000 4K pages is a bit small for

DSS style queries, so:

BUFFERPOOL

size=4K,buffers=55000,lrus=16,lru_min_dirty=70.00,lru_max_dirty=80.00

2. You have DS_TOTAL_MEMORY set to 188928 and also DS_NONPDQ_QUERY_MEM

set to 188928, but the latter is limited to 25% of the former, so either

increase DS_TOTAL_MEMORY or reduce the other. Since this is for DSS

queries, I'd suggest increasing DS_TOTAL_MEMORY to 1024000

3. #2 above will require you to increase SHM_VIRTSIZE to at least 1248000

4. Since you have more than a single CPU core MULTIPROCESSOR must be set

to 1 to avoid memory corruption.
