Global_Buffers[=(Total=i,User_Limit=j)] Allows you to set the basic global buffer parameters on each RMU Open command. If you specify the Global_Buffers qualifier, you can optionally specify values for the Total and User_Limit parameters: o Total is the number of global buffers per node to allocate for this opened instance of the database (minimum = 5, and maximum o User_Limit is the maximum number of global buffers to be allotted to any given user (minimum = 5, maximum = Total). The default values for Total and User_Limit are set by: o The RMU Open command explicitly o Values determined at the time the database was created If you do not specify a value for the Total or User_Limit options, the values are determined based on what they were when the database was created. If a database does not have global buffers enabled, the Global_ Buffers qualifier is ignored. Use the RMU Dump command to see if global buffering is enabled or disabled. The RMU Dump command also shows the global buffer count and the maximum global buffer count per user.
