getSizeOfInstance() Purpose This method returns current size of the data of the specified instance, in bytes. The method counts each character as two bytes and each reference to another node as four bytes. Calling this method too often degrades repository server performance. This method therefore returns the previous result if less than 60 seconds has passed since the previous call. You must specify an instance that exists in the server, otherwise this method throws an exception. Type Open, Synchronous, IMPACT_INFO Parameters Name Type Description Instance name string Name of the instance you are interested in. Returns Name Type Description size in bytes string Size of the contents of this instance.
