The default value of the stack size parameter has increased over the last several releases. While stack size varies from platform to platform, the changes on Solaris (shown in the table below) illustrate the increase in stack size requirements with successive versions:
Server version |
Minimum stack size |
|---|---|
11.0.x |
24576 (24K) |
11.5 |
34816 (32k) |
11.9.2 |
34816 (32k) |
12.0 |
46090 (45K) – 32-bit 86016 (84K) – 64-bit |
12.5 |
46090 (45K) – 32-bit 86016 (84K) – 64-bit |
15.0 |
46090 (45K) – 32-bit 86016 (84K) – 64-bit |
Using a stack size that is set too low can cause a stack overflow during upgrade or later, during processing.
Check your stack size parameter and reset it to default, if necessary. You can set the stack size configuration parameter by replacing the existing value in the configuration file with the word “DEFAULT”.
For more information on configuration parameters, see the System Administration Guide, Volume 1. For a comprehensive list of new and changed configuration parameters, see What’s New in Adaptive Server Enterprise?
