The OpenVMS AUTHORIZE utility allows you to set up, modify, and delete users. You can also use the utility to assign limits to a user's process (such as UICs, passwords, privileges, default directories, and other factors).
The following table summarizes recommended default AUTHORIZE values in relation to GT.M.
Recommended Default VAX and AXP Minimum AUTHORIZE Values for GT.M Users | ||
PARAMETER |
VALUE |
NOTES |
ASTLM |
250 |
Because database and terminal I/O are both asynchronous, GT.M can use many ASTs. |
BYTLM |
32768-VAX 64000-AXP (default) |
MUPIP operations on large database regions may require larger values. If database files are fragmented, the required values will be substantially larger. |
DIOLM |
40-VAX 150-AXP (default) |
For applications with heavy database access, higher values can be used to good advantage. |
ENQLM |
200-VAX 2000-AXP (default) |
Must be at least 3 + 1 per simultaneously active database segment + 1 per segment that is journaled. |
FILLM |
300-VAX 300-AXP (default) |
Adjust this upward for large numbers of regions, and/or concurrently open sequential files. |
MAXDETACH |
0 (default) |
The default does not limit the number of detached jobs; this only affects users of the JOB command. |
PFQUOTA |
32768-VAX 50000-AXP |
HP's recommended value. |
SHRFILLM |
0 (default) |
The default does not limit the number of shared files; if you limit this, leave enough for each image and database region concurrently in use. |
WSEDEFAULT |
512-VAX 2000-AXP |
GT.M uses large working sets well, especially where there is much shared memory, which is usually the case. |
WSEXTENT |
20480-VAX 327680-AXP | |
WSQUOTA |
4096-VAX 32000-AXP |
