All TimesTen instances running in AIX environments
Goal
This docNote explains how to use the AIX "Large Pages" facility in order to pin TimesTen datastores in memory.
TimesTen applications can experience significant performance problems when pages of the datastore shared memory segment are swapped out of RAM by virtual memory operating systems. The "MemoryLock" parameter, which is available to TimesTen implementations on Linux and several other Unix ports, allows users to lock the entire TimesTen shared memory segment in RAM. MemoryLock is not available to TimesTen running on AIX, but the AIX Large Pages facility offers equivalent functionality for locking shared memory in RAM.
