Using Formulas in Profile Parameter ValuesLocate this document in the navigation structure

Profile parameter values in profiles can consist of arithmetical formulas too.

  • Every parameter value in round brackets ( ) is evaluated as a formula. If the syntax of the formula is incorrect or the result is invalid, an error message is written to dtderr.

  • If an invalid formula is identified, the calculated value is used instead of the formula.

    Note Decimals must be separated by a point ' . ' .
Example (4096*0.75) is replaced with 3072.

[see lines in example 3: replaced macros or replaced (default)]

  • The following standard operators are valid:

    + - * / ^ ( )

  • Many standard functions with one or two arguments are also supported:

    sin, con, tan, asin, acos, atan, sinh, cosh, tanh, In, exp, log2, log10, sqrt, rint, ceil, floor,

    min, max

Example

Example 1:

  • em/initial_size_MB = ($(PHYS_MEMSIZE)*0.75)

    Sets em/initial_size_MB to 75% of the physical memory specified in profile parameter PHYS_MEMSIZE.

Example 2:

  • em/initial_size_MB = (min(max(2^8,0.1*$(PHYS_MEMSIZE)),2^12))

    Sets value to 10% of the physical memory. The value must be a minimum of 256 MB and a maximum of 4096 MB.
