Getting pagefile usage per process

Magnus Banck — Thu, 11 Aug 2005 04:59:51 GMT

Items SYI$_PAGEFILE_PAGE/SYI$_PAGEFILE_FREE is just telling me how much is used in total.

But who is using the pagefile and how much?

As I understand it, in recent versions (v7.3 and on) JPI$_PGFLQUOTA and JPI$_PAGFILCNT deals with reserved pages, not actual usage.

Is there any cell that tells me how much a particular process is using? Found cells PHD$S_PAGEFILE_REFS, I suppose that is the same as "Pagefile refcnt" in SDA SHOW PROC/PHD. But I am unsure if this is the right place, and how to interprete the value.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Magnus,

an absolute correct count at any point of time will be provided by:

$ ANAL/SYS
SDA> SET PROC/IND=
SDA> SET OUT/NOINDEX x.x
SDA> SHOW PROC/PAGE
SDA> EXIT
$ SEA x.x PGFIL/NOOUT/STAT

I seem to remember that John Gillings has answered similar questions in the past, so I'll leave it to him to explain a less resource-intensive answer to your question.

Volker.
