Setting Database Server Shared-Memory Configuration Parameters

Shared-memory configuration parameters fall into the following categories based on their purposes:

• Parameters that affect the resident portion of shared memory
• Parameters that affect the virtual portion of shared memory
• Parameters that affect performance

You can set shared-memory configuration parameters in the following ways:

• Using a text editor
• IBM Informix Server Administrator (ISA)
• Using ON–Monitor

On UNIX, you must be root or user informix to use either method. On Windows, you must be a user in the Informix Admin group.
