VMS Help Sys Parameters, RMS_PATH_TMO *Conan The Librarian |
The RMS path cache in each process holds entries that translate
DVI+DID+name to new DVI+DID. These are used to greatly speed
up directory path walks. Cache entries representing ordinary
directory lookups are invalidated through the volume directory
sequence number mechanism (UDB$L_DIRSEQ), which is clocked
on every volume dismount and each time a directory is deleted
or renamed. However, there is no convenient mechanism for
invalidating a cache entry that represents a symlink, whose
interpretation is affected by logical names or modification of
the symlink. The only way to eliminate stale cache entries is
with a timeout. This parameter is the system-wide cache timeout.
Special values:
1 = don't keep cache entries
-1 = keep cache entries forever
RMS_PATH_TMO is a DYNAMIC parameter.
