Changes Take Effect
After the next Teradata Database restart.
Usage Notes
If the number of outstanding WAL log writes is less than or equal to the MaxSyncWALWrites value, requests for synchronous operations will append the record to the current buffer, force a new buffer, and issue a synchronous write on the current buffer.
If the number of outstanding writes is greater than the MaxSyncWALWrites value, the record will be appended, but the write will be delayed until one of the outstanding write requests is completed.
