VMS Help Sys Parameters, SYSMWCNT *Conan The Librarian |
SYSMWCNT sets the quota for the size of the system working set,
which contains the pageable portions of the system, the paged
dynamic pool, RMS, and the resident portion of the system message
file.
While a high value takes space away from user working sets, a low
value can seriously impair system performance. Appropriate values
vary, depending on the level of system use. When the system is
running at full load, check the rate of system faults with the
MONITOR PAGE command of the Monitor utility. An average system
page fault rate of between 0 and 3 page faults per second is
desirable. If the system page fault rate is high, and especially
if the system seems to be slow, you should increase the value of
SYSMWCNT. However, do not set this parameter so high that system
page faulting never occurs.
SYSMWCNT has the AUTOGEN, GEN, and MAJOR attributes.
