the size of the CDC cache.

- n
- The size, in kbytes of both the primary and secondary CDC caches
combined.
If you specify a value smaller than 200, the size is increased to 200.
In single-user mode, the primary cache is not used, and the entire size is allocated to the secondary cache.
In multi-user mode, 75 percent of the cache size is allocated to the primary cache, and the remainder to the secondary. However for values smaller than 400, the size is split evenly between the two caches.
You can increase the size of the secondary cache at runtime with PROUTIL INCREASETO.
CDC cache size (-cdcsize) is only for
databases enabled for Change Data Capture. For best performance, you should set CDC cache
size (-cdcsize) large enough that all your existing records
fit in the primary cache.
You can use this parameter to support continuous operation of the database. For more information, see Change database parameters while the database is running.
