    BUFFER MEMORY IS LOCAL

    BUFFER MEMORY IS GLOBAL

    Specifies whether RUJ buffers will be allocated in global or
    local memory.

    The RUJ buffers used by each process are normally allocated in
    local virtual memory. With the introduction of row caching, these
    buffers now can be assigned to a shared global section (global
    memory) on OpenVMS, so that the recovery process can process this
    in-memory buffer and possibly avoid a disk access.

    You can define this buffer memory to be global to improve row
    caching performance for recovery. If row caching is disabled,
    then buffer memory is always local.
