We have to do a sizing job on a system we are about to install and need a view on how much memory we should recommend per user. The system is running Informix RDS runtime with Informix SE engine on a HP9000 box. The actual 4GIs range in size from 300K to 512K and a menu system which kicks each program off is about 150K. Could someone tell me how the hell I should go about this. I could just add up the sizes of the various 4GIs and EXEs (including an SQLEXEC) but would this be accurate? I assume each program/engine process also needs a certain amount of working memory??? Is there an easy way to do this... :( Could you send any help by mail as well as posting it in case I miss a posting (very likely...) Cheers Chris@Home in Ireland.
