See globals size in Management Portal.

In System > Globals it would be helpful to see the globals sizes, and be able to sort them by this new column.

    %GSIZE display on the terminal is not friendly, there are pages you have to go through to find what you are looking for. Running the following from SQL CALL %SYS.GlobalQuery_Size works but you have to be in SQL to see that data. Having it more available to the user would be helpful.

    If implementing this I would also recommend adding an alerting mechanism around global growth over time with thresholds that can be set.

    This way, if a global is, for some reason, seeing far greater than expected growth, this can be alerted upon before numerous journal files are generated and/or database expansions are caused.

    Customers run into this regularly.

    We have also had some bugs where ISC's code has caused this behavior.
