$SYNC

[Former Member]

Hi,

Can any one please let me know what exactly this transaction does.

$Sync - resets the buffer in the sense is going to flush out buffer area, or just cache.

Ex: we are experiencing lot of swaps, in order to clear buffer other than restarting can $sync serves the purpose.

Thanks in advance.
