Application Memory Manager Syntax


The MEMORYLIMIT setting is used in the config.mem memory configuration file to limit the memory used by a single application to 100% of the value in the file.

Syntax

MEMORYLIMIT nK|G|M

n The memory limit value in bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes. Must be a whole number. Use K, M or G to indicate kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes. No unit specified assumes the value is in bytes. Note: be sure that there are no spaces between the memory limit value and unit in the syntax of the memory limit setting.

Recommended values:

Operating System Recommended memory limit
Windows NT
Windows 2000 without the 4 GB RAM option
2G
Windows 2000 with the 4 GB RAM option 3G
Solaris 3G
HPUX 1741M
AIX 2G

Use these recommended values or, if lower, the amount of physical memory plus swap space available. For example, if a computer has only 2 GB of combined physical memory and swap space, and other applications on that computer require 1 GB, then the value of MEMORYLIMIT should be no more than 1 GB.

Example

MEMORYLIMIT 1073741824
allows Analytic Server to use up to 1073741824 bytes or 1 GB memory for an application.
MEMORYLIMIT 1048576K
allows Analytic Server to use up to 1048576 KB or 1 GB memory for an application.
MEMORYLIMIT 2G
allows Analytic Server to use up to 2 GB memory for an application.
MEMORYLIMIT 1024M
allows 1 GB memory for an Analytic Server application.
