RSAM memory pool cleanup

Hello, Our customer is running application which allocates quite a lot of rsam pool, this memory is freed inside the rsam pool – so at the end it shows from onstat -g mem rsam Totalsize is cca 2gb but almost all free as column freesize shows but pool itself is not decreased. Is it expected behavior tha ralloc is only increasing and not freed/squeezed? Version is 12.10.FC13XAQ. Milan Rafaj Unless stated otherwise above: Kyndryl Česká republika, spol. s r. o.

Hi Milan, afaik, this is expected specifically for the rsam pool (and few other persistent ones), the assumption being that this is going to be used again. An occasional "onmode -F", or the LMM (low memory manager), should take care of this; also, I think, the vp memory cache feature, if on, will eventually do an (internal) onmode -F.

Hello Andreas, thank you for a tip. I thought if onstat -g seg shows no free memory for a segment that is it not possible to shrink or eliminated such a segment using onmode -F. Milan Rafaj Kyndryl Česká Republika/Czech Republic Odesláno z/Sent from Outlook / iOS

That is still correct, but what onmode -F also does, in order to facilitate returning segments, is draining memory pools. ;-) ------------------------------ Andreas Legner Dev Engineer HCL Software ------------------------------
