Turn residency on or off for resident shared memory

You can turn residency on or off for the resident portion of shared memory.

Residency can be turned on or off in either of the following two ways:
  • Use the onmode utility to reverse the state of shared-memory residency immediately while the database server is in online mode.
  • Change the RESIDENT parameter in the onconfig file to turn shared-memory residency on or off for the next time that you set up the database server shared memory.

For a description of the resident portion of shared memory, see Resident portion of shared memory.
