Adjust Page Writer Options

Lets you manually override APW behavior. (This should rarely be necessary. Do not change these options unless directed to do so by Technical Support.)

Figure 19–51 shows a sample Adjust Page Writer Options menu.

Choose one of the following options:

APW queue check time — Lets you dynamically adjust the value of the Page Writer Queue Delay (-pwqdelay) parameter.
Note: Though you can set the value of -pwqdelay, it is a self-tuning parameter. When the database encounters heavy loads, -pwqdelay decreases its value so that the APW writes more often. When the demand on the database lessens, -pwqdelay increases its value so that the APW writes less often. The default value, in milliseconds, for -pwqdelay is 100.
APW buffers scan time — Lets you dynamically adjust the value of the Page Writer Scan Delay (-pwsdelay) parameter. The default value, in seconds, for -pwsdelay is 1.
APW buffers per scan — Lets you dynamically adjust the value of the Page Writer Scan (-pwscan) parameter.
APW writes per scan — Lets you dynamically adjust the value of the Page Writer Maximum Buffers (-pwwmax) parameter.
