Increasing queue block size

Replication Server allows you to increase the queue block size to improve performance.

The queue block size is the number of bytes in a contiguous block of memory used by stable queue structures. With earlier versions of Replication Server, the queue block size is fixed at 16KB. Setting a larger queue block size allows Replication Server to process more transactions in a single block and therefore to improve Replication Server performance. However, performance improvement is also dependent on the transaction profile and the environment.

The default queue block size is 16KB. You can set the queue block size to 16KB, 32KB, 64KB, 128KB, or 256KB.

NoteModifying the queue block size automatically shuts down Replication Server, and you must restart Replication Server for the change to take effect. See “Queue block size change procedure.”
