CHAPTER 2 Starting and Stopping Servers
Configuration Guide 19
Changing start-up parameters
You cannot change any of these default start-up parameters unless you directly
edit the $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install/RUN_ server_name file. You can
also specify additional start-up parameters within the
$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install/RUN_ server_name file.
Additional start-up parameters include any valid server command line options
listed for the
databaserver and backupserver descriptions in the Utility Guide.
For a description of start-up parameters for Monitor Server and Historical
Server, see the Adaptive Server Enterprise Monitor documentation.
Using a RUN_server_name file
Each time a new Adaptive Server, Backup Server, or Monitor Server is created,
the
srvbuild program creates a RUN_server_name file that contains the
information required to restart that server. RUN_server_name files are created
in the $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install directory. For Adaptive Server, the
RUN_server_name file is named RUN_server_name, where servername is the
name of the server.
For example, the RUN_server_name file name for an Adaptive Server named
TEST is RUN_TEST.
For Backup Server and Monitor Server, the RUN_server_name files are named
RUN_servername_back and RUN_servername_mon, respectively, where
servername is the name of the server.
Warning! Do not delete the RUN_server_name file that is created in
$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install. This file is used to restart servers when you
customize your installation. If you need the RUN_server_name file in another
location, make a copy of the original RUN_server_name file in the new
location.
The RUN_server_name file for a server named SYBASE is named
RUN_SYBASE. If the RUN_server_name file for your current Adaptive Server
is named RUN_server_name, you must change the name to RUN_SYBASE
during the upgrade process.
