The SORTMEM environment variable was deprecated in in Synergy/DE version 10.3.3c; we recommend you use SORTMEMMAX instead. The sort process now automatically determines the optimal amount of memory to use. Because SORTMEM overrides this optimal memory sizing, it should no longer be set. |
The SORTMEM environment variable specifies the amount of memory the SORT statement can use.
Value
The number of kilobytes of memory to be used by the sort. This value must be greater than 512. The default is determined by the sort to be the optimal amount of memory to avoid excessive intermediate I/O.
Discussion
SORTMEM is used by the SORT verb in the runtime, either locally or when both files specified to the SORT are remote. SORTMEM is used on the server when the sort is on the server. It is used by the runtime when the sort is local and not on a server.
Setting location
For a local file, in the environment or synergy.ini (Windows).
On a Windows server, in the Windows registry. Use the Synergy Configuration Program, or set SORTMEM as follows:
- For a specific instance of xfServer, set SORTMEM under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Synergex\Synergy xfServer\servername\synrc.
- For a system-wide setting, set SORTMEM under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Synergex\Synergy xfServer\synrc.
On a Unix server, in the synrc file in the /etc directory (for all clients) or the .synrc file in the users $HOME directory (for specific users).
Used by
Runtime, xfServer
Examples
On Unix,
SORTMEM=8192 ;export SORTMEM
