Global initer considerations

  • For performance considerations of the Service Manager server, a global list should contain no more than 2800 individual elements. Exceeding this limit may degrade the server performance.
  • The total size of the globallist record, which contains the full lists, cannot exceed the logical file limit set for the system.
  • The sort field must be a key on the table which is used to generate the list.
  • No matter what you set as the reset time, the server initer can only refresh the lists once every time its scheduler wakes up. Thus, if you have a list with reset time = 5 seconds and the scheduler runs every 60 seconds then the list will actually refresh every 60 seconds.
