Kernel parameter reference
Kernel parameters do not apply to RS/6000 machines running AIX.
It is important that you understand these kernel parameters before you change them. Make sure they do not conflict with other system parameters. If you need help with implementing these kernel changes, see the user manual for your platform or consult your platform system manufacturer.
msgmax (MSGMAX)
The msgmax parameter defines the maximum size of a message. Lawson requires a minimum default size of 4096 for this parameter.
msgmnb (MSGMNB)
The msgmnb parameter defines the maximum size of a message queue. Lawson requires a minimum default size of 300 for this parameter.
msgmni (MSGMNI)
The msgmni parameter defines the maximum number of message queues. The recommended value is based on the parameters in the database configuration file (ladb.cfg):
(FILES/LFILES) + FOREIGN + USERS + 25
The USERS parameter sets the maximum number of CPU processes allowed to access Lawson (approximately four for each concurrent login).
maxuproc or maxuprc
The maxuproc or maxuprc parameter defines the maximum number of processes for a user. At a minimum, set this parameter to 160. Larger sites might need to use a higher number.
maxfiles
The maxfiles parameter defines the number of files a process can use. You might need to adjust this parameter depending on your requirements.
nproc
The nproc parameter defines the maximum number of processes system-wide. You might need to adjust this parameter depending on your requirements.
nfiles
The nfiles parameter defines the maximum number of files open at one time system-wide. You might need to adjust this parameter depending on your requirements.
