The SAS Metadata Server holds all queried
and updated metadata in memory. Therefore, to avoid excessive paging,
the amount of RAM on the server should exceed the amount of metadata.
To ensure that sufficient
memory is available on Windows and UNIX systems, set a MEMSIZE value
in the start server command that allows the operating system to set
the memory limits on the server. This can be accomplished by setting
a value of 0 (zero), MIN, or MAX. For details, see
Options for the Metadata Server Invocation Command.
