Temp Table Usage by Record page

If you implemented temporary tables for parallel Application Engine program runs, use this page and the Temp Table Usage by Program page to find out how the system allocates temporary tables to your programs.

Parallel processing is designed to be a performance enhancing option. However, if the demand for temporary table instances consistently exceeds the current supply, performance suffers. Also, in other situations, your inventory of temporary table instances may far outnumber demand. Here, you may consider reducing the number of instances provided to conserve system resources.

This page shows you the following metrics for evaluating inventory and allocation of temporary tables.

Total Instances
