Number of application objects no longer in use.
MorphX automatically performs garbage collection when the number given here is reached.
The system uses memory each time an application object is opened in the Application Object Tree. Unless a value is given here, application objects are never discarded from memory.
Additional info:
An application object is considered open when
- The application object's node is expanded in the AOT, or
- One of the application object's methods is open in the X++ editor, or
- The application object's properties are displayed, or
- The application object is displayed in the visual form editor or in the visual report editor, or
- The application object is 'touched', that is, it has been changed but not yet saved.
An application object is subject to garbage collection when one of the above mentioned states have happened, and none of them are true any more.
The next time a garbage collected application object is opened, it is reloaded from external storage to system memory.
Note
Garbage collection is one of the three components in an update cycle, and is performed only when an update cycle interval is given (the
Auto-Update option).
