Re: RE: Long Checkpoints with HDR and 11.5.

In Response To: Re: RE: Long Checkpoints with HDR and 11.5. (JACQUES RENAUT)

No, Jacques, IDS secondaries do not share buffer pool updates with the
primary. Only the logical log buffers are transferred, so only the server's
transaction rate would affect the data transfer rate between the servers and
that would be about the same regardless of the LRU_MIN/MAX_DIRTY settings.
Now changing the size of the logical log buffer on the other hand, would
have some effect, but minor, and the discrepancy between the number of CPU
VPs on the two servers will have a much bigger effect.
