JOB_INFO_MEMORY_CACHE_SIZE

Syntax

JOB_INFO_MEMORY_CACHE_SIZE=num_MB

Description

This parameter configures how much memory to use for the jobinfo cache. The unit is MB.

The jobinfo cache can reduce the load on the work directory filer by caching job information such as the job's environment variables, command-line and eexec data in memory, in a compressed format. The jobinfo cache is part of mbatchd memory.

Note: Reducing the load on the jobinfo cache means a reduction in mbatchd input and output operations to achieve better mbatchd performance on the other side.

A value of 0 disables the jobinfo cache.

Valid values

Valid values: 0 - 2147483646.

Note: If enabled, a minimum value of 500 MB is recommended.
