Adaptive Server version 12.5 allows you to allocate total physical memory dynamically. Many of the configuration parameters that consume memory were static in pre-12.5 versions of Adaptive Server, and the server needed to be restarted when more memory was required. For example, when you changed the number of user connections, you had to restart the server for this to take effect. Many of the configuration parameter that effect memory are now dynamic, and the server does not have to be restarted for them to take effect. For a full list of the configuration parameters that have changed from static to dynamic, see Table 2-3 in Chapter 2, “System Changes in Adaptive Server Version 12.5.”
