Description
The RESLTHR parameter specifies the minimum number of times an APSY precompiled procedure must be loaded into a user's server before Model 204 attempts to make the procedure's NTBL and QTBL resident and shareable in virtual storage. Once a procedure's NTBL and QTBL have been made resident, subsequent evaluation of that procedure no longer requires loading those tables into the user's server.
The RESLTHR default is -1; it indicates that the parameter has not been set and is not active.
The RESLTHR parameter is similar to the RESTHRSH parameter, which sets the minimum number of times a procedure must be swapped, along with the evaluating user, to CCASERVR before the procedure's NTBL and QTBL will be made resident. In a system with little or no server swapping, the number of APSY LOADs (and therefore RESLTHR) provides a better metric for determining whether to make a procedure's NTBL and QTBL resident. Resident requests may reduce CCATEMP I/O by as much as 20 percent and the number of bytes transferred per server I/O by as much as 30 percent.
You can view APSY LOAD statistics by using the MONITOR command with the STATISTICS parameter.
