The primary consideration is the amount of storage made available to the POSIX server in the address space, whether in batch or in the SMARTS server environment. Basically, the larger the address space, the more requests that can be concurrently serviced using attached tasks and address space storage.

The SMARTS server automatically calculates its optimal configuration based on

• the amount of storage available in the address space; and

• the expected average and maximum workload as indicated by the WORKLOAD-AVERAGE and WORKLOAD-MAXIMUM parameters.

For VSE environments, Software AG recommends that you use the parameter rather than the WORKLOAD-AVERAGE and WORKLOAD-MAXIMUM parameters.
