Description
The bits have the following meanings:
| Settings | Meaning |
|---|---|
| X'01' | Allocate space for servers in memory in chunks of 4K pages, not as a permanent contiguous area. This allocation lets you move fewer 4K pages, keeping the virtual storage allocated for servers in memory less fragmented and possibly using fewer paging tables.
As of Model 204 version 7.5, this setting is the default. (Previously, X'00' was the default.) |
| X'02' | Put servers in a hiperspace instead of a dataspace.
This setting is applicable only for real dataspaces for non-64-bit systems. |
| X'04' | Use compression when swapping servers. (New in Model 204 version 7.6)
This setting is applicable only for 64-bit in-storage server swapping. When enabled, each table in the server is individually moved based on its usage. In addition, if page fixing is specified for the server swapping memory, only the highwater mark of pages will be fixed. |
| X'20' | Put APSY precompiled procedures in hiperspace instead of a dataspace. Hiperspace pages can be in real or expanded storage.
This option is not valid on IBM z/VSE, and it requires that Model 204 be APF-authorized. |
| X'40' | Put APSY precompiled procedures in cache hiperspace instead of a scrolling hiperspace.
Cache hiperspace pages can reside only in expanded storage, so they are sometimes called Also, cache hiperspace pages never result in operating system paging. Pages stolen by the operating system are simply discarded, and Model 204 is responsible for replacing the pages from the copy of the precompiled procedures in CCATEMP. This option is not valid on IBM z/VSE, and it requires that Model 204 be APF-authorized. |
| X'80' | Keep all APSY saved pages in CCATEMP.
Set DSPOPT to X'80' only when TEMPPAGE is 0, and then only in unusual circumstances. |
