Hello Everyone:

We are being told that increasing the size of VLDMThreshold (way beyond the
64 MB default) on the 64-bit MAS has a very positive effect on performance.

I was under the impression that the 64 bit platform did not use
the large dimension manager process (msmdvldm.exe).

Is the parameter VLDMThreshold used for anything else on the 64-bit MAS
or does changing this parameter make no difference on the 64-bit?

Please help with this subject as we cannot find much available
information.

Best regards,
Mario

VLDM is disabled on 64-bit SSAS. Changing the registry setting will have
absolutely no effect.
