Description
An anticipatory write window that starts writes for any modified buffers that enter the window
When an anticipatory write for a modified buffer completes, the buffer is immediately reusable.
If NLRUQG is set greater than 1, then the value of LDKBMWNG is rounded up to a multiple of NLRUQG. LDKBMWNG has a minimum size of one (1).
High values of LDKBMWNG might unnecessarily increase the number of writes done (measured by the DKWR statistic). Low values might cause excessive waiting for buffers (measured by the DKSWAIT statistic).
Refer to Disk buffer monitor statistics and parameters for more information.
