Configuration File Errors

If you edit your configuration file manually, carefuly check the cache, pool, and wash sizes.

The total size of all of the caches cannot be greater than the amount of max memory, minus other SAP ASE memory needs.

In most cases, problems with missing entries are reported as “unknown format” errors on lines immediately following the entry where the size, status, or other information has been omitted. Other errors provide the name of the cache in which the error occurred and the type of error. For example, you see this error if the wash size for a pool is specified incorrectly:
The wash size for the 4k buffer pool in cache pubs_cache has been incorrectly configured. It must be a minimum of 10 buffers and a maximum of 80 percent of the number of buffers in the pool.
