Error description

  • The xscmd -c showinfo command has been improved to include
    information about eXtremeMemory (XM) and disk overflow.  The
    output of the command will now include a column for Storage
    Type.  The values will either be eXtremeMemory or Java heap
    depending on whether XM has been enabled.  When XM is enabled
    an additional column will be present named XM Usage.  This
    shows the percentage of used XM relative to the configured
    maxXMSize.  When disk overflow is enabled and additional
    column will be present named Overflow Disk Usage.  This shows
    the amount of disk space which is being used for map data
    overflowed to disk.  Here is an example of how the new columns
    look when both XM and disk overflow are enabled:
    
    
    Overflow Disk Usage                34,603,008 bytes
    Storage Type                             eXtremeMemory
    XM Usage                                  0.10% (max:
    2,063,250,432 bytes)

    The xscmd -c showinfo command is improved to include
    information about eXtremeMemory (XM) and disk overflow.  The
    output of the command now includes a column for Storage
    Type.  The values are either eXtreme Memory or Java heap, and
    depends on whether eXtreme memory is enabled.  When eXtreme
    memory is enabled, an additional column named XM Usage is
    available.  This shows the percentage of used eXtremem memory
    relative to the configured maximum memory size.  When disk
    overflow is enabled an additional column Overflow Disk Usage
    is available.
    This shows the amount of disk space which is being used for map
    data overflowed to disk.  Here is an example of how the new
    columns look when both eXrememe memory and disk overflow are
    enabled:
    Overflow Disk Usage          34,603,008 bytes
    Storage Type                 eXtremeMemory
    XM Usage                     0.10% (max: 2,063,250,432 bytes)
    

Problem conclusion

  • xscmd -c showinfo will now include XM and disk overflow
    related information.
