It is usually allocated at startup, but now and again it may find it doesn't have enough. When that occurs it simplay allocates more memory in part as defined in the onconfig. When it no longer needs it, and enough shared memory pages are free it will release it again. So, nothing to worry about. When it happensmore frquently You may want to increase the initial footprint (SHMEM) in you onconfig. R.A.

Normally I see these kind of messages in online.log:- Dynamically allocated new virtual shared memory segment What is the difference between the above and the following Dynamically allocated new extension shared memory segment

I think that is an older version of the same message. "rkusenet" <rkusenet@sympatico.ca> wrote in message news:b994jf$go9qs$1@ID-75254.news.dfncis.de... > > "Robert A.
