VMS Help Sys Parameters, GBLSECTIONS *Conan The Librarian |
GBLSECTIONS sets the number of global section descriptors
allocated in the system header at bootstrap time. Each global
section requires one descriptor. Each descriptor takes 32 bytes
of permanently resident memory.
The default value is sufficient for the images normally installed
as shared in the system startup command procedures. Once the
system is running and all global sections are created, you can
examine the actual requirements with the /GLOBAL qualifier of the
Install utility and reduce the value of GBLSECTIONS accordingly.
However, the value of this parameter should not be set too low.
If you plan to install many user images as shared, or if user
programs are likely to create many global sections, you must
increase the value of this parameter.
If the value of GBLSECTIONS is too small, you receive a message
from the Install utility at system startup time or whenever
you install images manually. Note that too large a value for
GBLSECTIONS wastes physical memory.
GBLSECTIONS has the AUTOGEN, FEEDBACK, GEN, and MAJOR attributes.
