CAUSE:
The Solaris 'Shared Memory' setting has not been set to a value or has been set too low.  Contact the Server Administrator to increase the value.
Strategy Technical Support does not have any recommendations on the value for this setting. This setting controls how much memory the Intelligence Server can consume on the machine and this decision should be left to the Server Administrators. Contact Strategy Professional Services if tuning for this setting is necessary.
ACTION:
Set the Solaris Shared Memory setting to a specific/higher value.
