Checking memory pool usage

 

Periodically checking the amount of memory your memory pools use is important. By monitoring these levels, you can tune your pools to run at maximum efficiency, which in turn, keeps the work cycle running smoothly. In iSeries™ Navigator, you can easily monitor the amount of memory your pools are using. To check the memory use, follow the following steps:

1. In iSeries Navigator, expand My Connections > server > Work Management > Memory Pools > Active Pools or Shared Pools.

2. Right-click the memory pool you want to work with (for example, Interactive) and click Properties.

3. Click the Configuration tab. The Current field, that is located within the Size group, shows the amount of memory that the pool currently has.

   You can also view the current size of a memory pool when you click Active Pools or Shared Pools. Current Size (in megabytes) is a default column that you see when a list of memory pools displays in the right pane of iSeries Navigator.
