Example
The following steps show the commands that you would use to run the Authorize
utility and set process quotas for the SYSTEM account (if you plan to run backups
from a different account, determine the process quotas for that account):
1. Determine the current quota values:
$ SET DEFAULT SYS$SYSTEM
$ RUN AUTHORIZE
UAF> SHOW SYSTEM
Username: SYSTEM Owner: SYSTEM MANAGER
Account: SYSTEM UIC: [1,4] ([SYSTEM])
CLI: DCL Tables: DCLTABLES
Default: SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR]

In this example, SYSTEM has the following quotas:
WSQUOTA 512
WSEXTENT 2048
PGFLQUOTA 20480
