number of messages specifies the number of message structures allocated by Adaptive Server. Messages, which are used in conjunction with mailboxes, are used internally by Adaptive Server for communication and synchronization between kernel service processes. Messages are also used for coordination between a family of processes in parallel processing. Do not modify this parameter unless instructed to do so by Sybase Technical Support.
