# SYSBPM Utility - Buffer Pool Management

The utility SYSBPM is used for managing local and global buffer pools of type `Natural` or `SORT` and message pools.

In addition to functions for administration, SYSBPM also provides statistical information on the current status of a buffer pool of any type including the buffer pool cache (BP cache) and a message pool (if activated).Information is also provided on the Natural objects loaded in a buffer pool and the BP cache, and the messages loaded in a message pool.

For a general description of the Natural buffer pool (that is the buffer pool of type `Natural`) refer to Natural Buffer Pool - General, in the Operations documentation.

The buffer pool is defined with the macro `NTBPI` in the Natural parameter module, or with the corresponding dynamic profile parameter `BPI`. Both options are described in the Parameter Reference documentation. The type of a buffer pool is determined by the `TYPE` subparameter of `NTBPI` or `BPI`.

Anmerkungen:

1. Natural objects executed with the `RUN` command will not be loaded into a buffer pool, only Natural objects executed with the `EXECUTE` command, that is the objects must be stowed or cataloged.
2. The BP cache and the message pool are optional storage areas that need to be activated separately.
