Definition

The SHMADD parameter in the Informix ONCONFIG file specifies how much shared memory is used to increase the size of the virtual area.

Use

For up-to-date recommendations, see SAP Note 38307.

Note

You should normally set SHMADD to a value high enough to prevent Informix having to add shared memory at all during normal system operation.
