Are there any Problems for Memory ?
My Show memory shows the below output

Is there any memory shortange on the above system ?

Re: Are there any Problems for Memory ?
why do you ask ? Are you seeing any problems ? Your SHOW MEMORY data looks o.k. to me. Nonpaged pool looks a bit over-sized, but you didn't tell us the state the system was in.

Re: Are there any Problems for Memory ?
Yes, Im having memory dumps as below
Current PROCESS DEC Rdb environment is version V5.1-1 (MULTIVERSION)
Current PROCESS SQL environment is version V5.1-1 (MULTIVERSION)
Current PROCESS Rdb/Dispatch environment is version V5.1-2 (MULTIVERSION)
%SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=00, virtual address=00000000, PC=0003C48C, PS=0000001B
%TRACE-F-TRACEBACK, symbolic stack dump follows
Image Name Module Name Routine Name Line Number rel PC abs PC
TASK DEMAND df_demand 3442 000007EC 0003C48C
TASK PN process_node 7010 000011DC 00034A5C
TASK PSMBX process_stdmbx 4223 00000158 00030328
TASK TASK task 2375 0000008C 0003008C
0 A273E170
We have increased the pgflquo for the users running this process from 250000 to 500000. Still the process are failing again.

Re: Are there any Problems for Memory ?
If you are getting ACCVIO, I would be surprised if the problem is limits on memory. RDB should handle resource shortages more gracefully than that.
Have you logged a support case with RDB??

the instruction at PC=3C48C is trying to access virtual address 0, which is a non-access page. This is a bug in whatever image/software you are running here (most likely RDB). Try to obtain and install the most current version/patch level.

Re: Are there any Problems for Memory ?
we might have been misguided by the RDB process environment initialisation messages. The problem seems to happen in an image named TASK.EXE:
Image Name Module Name Routine Name Line Number rel PC abs PC
TASK DEMAND df_demand 3442 000007EC 0003C48C
...
This is either a self-written application or a third-party application running on your system. Find out who's supporting that application/image and address the issue with them.

Re: Are there any Problems for Memory ?
I'd say YES. 768 Mb is very puny to run a memory intensive application like Oracle Rdb. You actually have high paging file's usage: with today's lower memory prices this should not be allowed to happen. I run Oracle (9.1, not Rdb) on my cluster and have a SGA (Sysem Global Area - memory mapped)of 10GB out of total memory of 32GB.

Re: Are there any Problems for Memory ?
WADU, I disagree. Without detailed statistics about IO and paging rates, and a look at the database and applications, any conclusions as to "increase" the memory are, IMO, premature.
While it is true that at today's prices, it seems like memory is the cheapest solution, it is often just a band aid.

Re: Are there any Problems for Memory ?
I also have to disagree regarding your observation:
You actually have high paging file's usage:
Both pagefiles are 87% free, i.e. only 13% used. The goal is to keep the pagefile usage below 50%.
Whether there is enough memory provided for the application, depends on the actual demand of the application. Measing paging rates would be the best indicator of memory shortage at runtime.
When speculating about a possible 'virtual memory' shortage (i.e. PGFLQUOTA), you also need to look at the process memory usage, not the overall system memory usage.
