FSBUFFER Parameter

,FSBUFFER=number-of-buffers

FSBUFFER indicates how many buffers are to be reserved for the fast-scan buffer pool. Each buffer can store one page.

The FSBUFFER parameter is used during an area sweep. Using FSBUFFER can help reduce the amount of I/O wait time when an area being swept contains many pages.

It is difficult to define an ideal FSBUFFER value because of the many possible variations in a CA IDMS database. Furthermore, a large FSBUFFER value may cause CA IDMS/DB Analyzer to use additional CPU cycles to manage these buffers. The minimum FSBUFFER is 9. The maximum value is taken from the MAXBUF value in the GSDTPARM module.

Default: The default value is taken from the DEFBUF value in the GSDTPARM module.
