8.1.1.18 KIX_CWA_IPCKEY

The Common Work Area (CWA), when defined (see KIX_CWA_SIZE), is implemented on each machine by a shared memory segment. The KIX_CWA_IPCKEY variable indicates the IPCKEY (the identifier) of the shared memory segment. The value must be defined in the range from 1 to 99 999 999.

Note:

This variable is mandatory when KIX_CWA_SIZE is set to a value greater than zero.
