INITRANS is the initial number of ITEs (transaction slots) in a block. MAXTRANS is the maximum number of ITEs in a block (if space allows). Each concurrent transaction modifying a row in a block needs its own ITE. Unless each transaction will be modifying rows in a single block, setting it to the average number of tx will waste space. Small rows in big blocks that are modified constantly need a high number of ITEs. Large rows in small blocks that are rarely modified need a low number of ITEs. For a high concurrency object, set INITRANS to a reasonable (but small) number, e.g. 4. Make sure you leave enough space in the block to enable additional ITEs if you are wrong. I don't recall testing this, but I *think* that once an ITE is created, it is not removed from the block header.
