MEMSCALINGFACTOR

This setting is deprecated. The 64-bit server has been expanded to accommodate larger cache sizes without the use of a scaling factor.

In previous releases, this setting enabled you to set data cache and data file cache sizes to values greater than 4GB, by indicating a scaling factor n.

The MEMSCALINGFACTOR setting, if present, is still recognized and applied once, upon migration to the current release. Upon the first startup of a database after migration, Essbase reads the current data cache setting, multiplies it by the scaling factor n (if MEMSCALINGFACTOR is set), and saves the new data cache size. The setting is ignored thereafter, because Essbase can accommodate larger cache sizes without the use of a scaling factor.
