The required memory size for the proxy container depends on the size and the number of the outbound and inbound messages that must be processed in parallel. Asynchronous outbound and inbound messages occupy memory in the proxy container until they are sent or processed completely.
The cache of the proxy container is a shared memory. Therefore the main memory required on the computer on which the proxy container is running depends on the cache size.
If the Proxy Container Mode is set to Performance Enhanced (Non-durable Asynchronous Processing) (default setting) and the main memory is sufficient, you should set the cache to the same size as the page pool to avoid read/write access due to a cache shortage.
If the Proxy Container Mode is set to Durable Asynchronous Processing, the cache can only save on read access, as the data is always saved in the page pool.
The setting for the Proxy Container Mode is to be found as described below:
From the context menu of the proxy container, select the item Edit Properties.
In the Edit Properties of Local/Remote Proxy property sheet choose the Performance Settings tab.
You must activate the Expert Mode to display the Performance Settings tab. For detailed information refer to the online help system of the Management Console.
Changing the size of the storage areas
After installation, the size of the page pool area as well as the cache size is set to 20 MB. You can change the size of these storage areas in the Management Console:
From the context menu of the proxy container, select the item Edit Properties.
In the Edit Properties of Local/Remote Proxy property sheet choose the Performance Settings tab.
Under Proxy Container Storage Area Sizes change the value for Pagepool (MB) and Cache (MB).
