GOAL:
How to estimate the effects of changes in the -B startup parameter on aggregate use of system memory?
GOAL:
How to calculate or determine the number or blocks in database buffers.
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
Progress 8.x
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
FIX:
To help estimate the effects of changes in -B on system aggregate memory use, the following formula can be used:
-B * database block size = # of kb of memory used.
For example, if you set -B to 18000 and your block size is 1 KB then:
18000 * 1024 = 18,432,000 bytes
This means 18 MB of memory will be addressed.
