Re: Online 7.12 Tunning
Posted in 1997
How many CPU's does the system have?
Is is a dedicated server; or does the app run on the same machine?
From your NETTYPE settings I'd guess decicated server. If you
need no network access them remove the onsoctcp NETTYPE setting.
You proably want to set OPTCOMPIND=0. This can be a biggee.
Check your release notes for setting of RESIDENT. If possible set to
1.
Your BUFFERS setting is a source of tuning. Run onstat -p after you
run your application and make sure the hit rates are > 95% read
and >85% write. If not increase the BUFFERS.
Also check you online log file after running. If you see it adding
virtual memory segments you might want to increase the SHVIRTSIZE
setting.

} Hello,
}
} I've just upgraded from Online 5 to Online 7.12, on a RISC6000 with
} 128MB RAM, and I'm having some performance problems.
} The database is about 400MB and I have 32 users running an MRP application.
} Can someone give me some hints on this?
