vmcj/asyncCompilation is a SAP Parameter attribute which is used to control configure asynchronous compilation for VMC information. This is available within R/3 SAP systems depending on the version and release level.
Below is the standard documentation available and a few details of the attributes values .
This parameter controls the compile mode in the Virtual Machine
Container (VMC). If the parameter has the value on, the methods are
compiled asynchronously. During this time the application continues to
run in interpreter mode. If the parameter has the value off, the
compilation is performed inline, in other words the application is
stopped until the compilation is completed.
This parameter is only used by the "optimized backend". This means that
the parameter is only effective on the following platforms: HP with
IA_64 CPU.
Using the addition max_vms, you can specify how many asynchronous
compilations can be run simultaneously. The default here is 1.
Examples
vmcj/asyncCompilation = off --> no asynchronous compilation
vmcj/asyncCompilation = on --> asynchronous compiling active, max. one
asynchronous compilation at any one time
vmcj/asyncCompilation = on --> asynchronous compiling active, max.
three asynchronous compilations at any one time
