You can plan better for your installation if you understand how Actian X locations are typically used by various Actian X tasks.

An Actian X instance can perform several different types of tasks: normal operations, database maintenance, checkpoint, recovery. Some of these may proceed concurrently. Each task requires access to some of the Actian X locations.

In the diagrams, a thicker arrow indicates greater bandwidth requirement; a dotted arrow indicates the least bandwidth requirement.
