If you want to make changes, carefully consider their effects, as all direct IMU instance parameters are currently hidden parameters. Eight instance parameters are used to control or affect IMU operations, as listed in Table 7-2.

Sets the maximum number of Oracle connections. The greater this value, the greater the number of IMU latches. Multiple tests show that for around every 8.25 processes defined, one IMU latch is created. For example, 800 processes led to 97 latches, 600 processes to 73 latches, 400 processes to 48 latches, and 200 processes to 24 latches. Changing the processes parameter has a cascading effect, since many other Oracle parameters are also based on the processes parameter.

Enables or disables IMU. By default, this is set to true. To turn off IMU, set this parameter to false.
