What kind of a mainframe is that?
Usually "mainframe" means an IBM machine based on 370 architecture. If
that's the case then your SYSADMIN is wrong. Many, many years ago I
started out as a computer operator for an IBM 370/165 and worked with IBM
mainframes up through the E6000 series. They all work as virtual machines,
swapping and paging sessions in and out of the physical RAM.
Of course, you may have some other type of mainframe, in which case, what I
said doesn't apply.

Please respond
to ORACLE-L
Then perhaps you can help me . . .
We are suffering through a Pro*Cobol / Oracle on the mainframe
implementation for a newly developed in house application.
We have a mainframe with 1.7GB - 2GB REAL memory.
4 CPU machine - we have two logical CPUs in our LPAR
We have 8 instances running (each with at least 300MB SGA)
We are having major performance problems when people start doing a lot of
work on these instances.
The Mainframe SYSADMIN insists that there is NO swapping, NO paging
occuring. There is no problem because each instance can have 2GB VIRTUAL
memory and this is fine and dandy because this is how the mainframe works.
Did you ever use Oracle on a mainframe?
Did you come up with guidelines for minimum requirements?
(like in the UNIX install guides / NT install guides, you need X RAM, etc)
Thanks
Babette

COBOL *** WAS *** a programming language. Horse *** WAS *** basis of

that partial when it comes to horses, but having suffered COBOL, I would
really leave it in the ancient past, together with Spanish Inquisition
and crucifiction as a viable capital punishment.
