David,
I understand that this is not much info, and I guess I am feeling more
like L.A.Barnes' little guy banging my head against the computer
today...... It has been one of those dazes!
After further research, it turns out that a few more lines of code were
added to a huge COBOL program that when installed, the system takes a
nose dive. When removed, the system operates normal. We are thinking
that this additional code, when multiplied by 500+ users stored in
memory, caused the HP3000 performace bottlenecks. It is my understanding
that the 3000 systems, once it reaches a certain 'boiling' point, will
drop in performance. Not a gradual curve, but a drop.
Bottom line is, we are buying more memory. This I hope will resolve our
problem.
I'm not convinced this is the problem, but it doesn't hurt. What I am
questioing now is that the Configuration guide (1995) shows the 959ks
has a max of 2048 memory. We were told that it is capable of 8gb and
that MPE/iX has a limit of 3.75gb. Is this true? What is the true max
amount of memory I can install in the system?
Thanks again in advance.
