Hello,

I am using IDEAS 11M3 on UNIX station. I want to set up manually the memory settings.

Is there some rules to do this correctly accordlingly to the hardware.

Thanks for your answer.

The rule of thumb is to use a Total Virtual Memory Limit which is about 95% of the physical RAM on your machine.

With regards to the ratios/percentages, for "normal use" I'd return these to how they were before you modified the Virtual Memory Limit.

Use this as a starting point and then address any memory related errors, should they arise, by adjusting the percentages. Always make sure that the percentages add up to 100% at the bottom though.
 
To use manual memory tuning, automated memory tuning has to be turned off by
setting the Memory.AutoSetting to 0 in the global I-DEAS parameter file. The
DEFAULT location for this file is:

unix: $SDRC_INSTL/ideas/.ideas_paramX
NT4/Windows 2000: DRIVE:\team\master\config\ideas_paramX.dat

where X is the version of I-DEAS and DRIVE is the drive letter where
team is located.
