Initial Value

1000

Units

N/A

Range

>0

Description

Specifies the minimum amount of shared memory to be allocated when the WQS process starts up.

Tuning

Because shared memory cannot be resized, the WQS process must allocate a fixed amount of shared memory when it starts up, it allocates shared memory equal to twice whichever of the following values is greater:

the WQS_SHARED_MEMORY_QUEUES value.
the number of user and group queues defined on the system.
Note: Ensure that your system has enough shared memory configured for the WQS process to allocate. If it does not, the WQS process will be unable to start.

Depending on the number of queues you have defined, this value will therefore be at least:

(WQS_SHARED_MEMORY_QUEUES * 2 )* 1.2K

For example, if WQS_SHARED_MEMORY_QUEUES is 1000, and the number of queues defined on the system is 1250, then the WQS process allocates 3000K of shared memory (1250*2*1.2). Your system must have at least 3000K of shared memory available for the WQS process.

Note: For information about how to configure shared memory on your system, see your operating system documentation.
