SAP ASE dynamically allocates physical memory, which means you can change the memory
configuration without restarting the server.
Note:
SAP ASE does not dynamically decrease memory. It is important that you accurately assess
the needs of your system, because you may need to restart the server if you decrease the
memory configuration parameters and want to release previously used physical memory.
Consider changing the value of the
max_memory configuration parameter when:
-
You change the amount of RAM on your machine.
-
The pattern of use of your machine changes.
-
The configuration fails because max_memory is insufficient.
