The Question is: Any documentation that groups or categorizes the parameters used in sysgen???. I had a helpful error message: %SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=00, virtual address=000000007FF... show up one day. When I called the respective support group (Oracle Rdb), I was told that it is a quota problem. Well no one provide me with a hint as to which possible sysgen or user quota could be involved. Well I was able to snag one or 2 possible system parameters with my "watch" version. Just wanting to know if sysgen parameters have been outlined to indicate what aspects of VMS they have an impact on. Does WSAUTHEXT impact user quotas?? Do LGI* parameters impact accounting security??? What parameters impact lock manager??? How do PQL* parameters impact system?? Thanks for your time. The Answer is : Please ask Oracle support for assistance -- indicating that this is a system parameter problem without providing information on which parameters may be involved appears to be insufficient to resolve the problem you are reporting. An ACCVIO access violation error indicates an application problem, usually a problem with a rogue pointer or a stack corruption. This may or may not be related to a process quota -- only the application support organization (or an organization willing and able to work at the level of generated assembly code) can generally debug the cause(s) of an ACCVIO. See HELP/MESSAGE ACCVIO for details of what each parameter in the access violation means. There is no general correlation of an ACCVIO with system parameters or process quotas. For information on specific parameters, see the system parameter documentation. In general, system parameters should be ignored and left unaltered unless specifically instructed otherwise -- AUTOGEN with FEEDBACK will perform a yeoman effort in tuning your system. That performance which AUTOGEN cannot achieve generally takes both an extensive amount of time collection system performance data and non-trivial knowledge of parameter settings and internal and often version-specific OpenVMS behaviours. Hardware upgrades are generally far more efficient. For information on tuning OpenVMS, see the performance management manual, part of the OpenVMS documentation set.
