RE: WDSC Memory Usage

["Richard Casey" <casey_r@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Depending on what I've done in other windows prior to restoring the WDSC
window, it takes a while before WDSC allows me to perform some functions.
During this time, the memory usage shown in the Windows Task Manager slowly
creeps back up. Leaving the WDSC window maximized (although hidden behind
other windows) may limit memory available for other applications, but
hopefully will help the performance.

I just need more memory!

Thanks,
Richard

Why?  I guess I missed something.  Are you seeing a slowdown after you
restore the window?

Most people have used the minimize technique as an easy way to free up
memory for other applications.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the quick answer. I'll see about adding more memory since I'm
using the WebSphere Test Environment and usually have several 5250
sessions
going as well! In the mean time, I'll try to remember to NOT minimize the
WDSC window!

Thanks,
Richard

More memory always helps, but 512 should be enough, especially if you are
just doing iSeries coding.  If you need to use the WebSphere Test
Environment to run web applications, more memory would help.

The feature you have seen when minimizing the application is a
Windows-specific feature and doesn't have anything specifically to do with
WDSC or the JVM.
