17 slave.exe - but 16 disks only?

Hi! we have navision 3.60 with its own database running. server has 2,5 GB memory. navision database is 64 GB (reserved 43GB, licensed 132 GB) my problem: some users get often the following error message: commit cache is full and a counter is running. also the navision client is hanging often. on the navision client I see the following database cache settings. DBMS Cache 60000 Commit Cache jes Object Cache 8000 the funny thing is the following. we have 16 drives on an external array running. we have two same windows 2000 servers with navision 3.60. always on one server machine the navision service is running. and we have the troubles only on one machine. one thing I saw now is that we have on every server machine 17 slave.exe processes but we have only 16 disk drives. why that? also two navision client sessions are running on my server. (navision scheduler) one slave.exe has 0 cpu time and 284.832 KB memory. all other 16 slave.exe has some cpu time nad 518.992 KB memory. what is the reason? Thanks Hi!

you should set the size of your navision server cache to nbr of users x 10MB with commit cache yes you have to uninstall the navision service and reinstall it. example if you have 25 users server uninstallasservice server servername=blabla, commitcache=yes, cache=250000,nettype=TCP, database=d:\db1.fdb+e:\db2.fdb,installasservice if you have SCSI hardisk you do not need all these 16 disk 4 is more than enough 20 + 15 + 15 + 15 if ur database is 65 RAID 0 or raid1 system is required goodluck

Hi, slave processes are equal to the number of disks + 1 for the commit cache, so it’s completely normal…(16 + 1) Bye, Marco

I guess You havn’t seen the difference in performance between Your suggestion and those 16 disks… Keep Your 16 disks “huma1” and have a nice weekend (at least in sweden we have the day off tomorrow). One other thing: You can’t sum the memory usage for all slaves. You total memory usage for Navision is the memory server.exe is using (cache + ~16MB for exe)
