Usage
If there are many cursors blocking data, the communication heap may become full. When this heap is full, an error is not returned. Instead, no more I/O blocks are allocated for blocking cursors. If cursors are unable to block data, performance can be affected.
If a large number of cursors were unable to perform data blocking, you may be able to improve performance by:
  • Increasing the size of the query_heap database manager configuration parameter.
