Parameter Initialization for a New Database Instance 

Use

You initialize all the parameters needed to generate a new database instance.

This procedure uses the name of the database instance from the DBM Server session. No parameter file can yet exist for this database instance.

All parameters are assigned their default values from the description file (see also: Configurating Database Instances). Then a complete computation run is carried out. The values from the calculation run overwrite the default values.

You get no message about non-fulfilled constraints or missing obligatory values. The initialization takes place only internally in the DBM Server. The parameters in the parameter file are not backed up until parameter change confirmation.

The following parameters are assigned values by the system:

- SERVERDB is assigned to the database name

- RUNDIRECTORY contains a directory name <work_path>\<serverdb>

- KERNEL_VERSION is initialized with the version label stored in the DBM Server

Use this command to check the new parameter values in the parameter file for the correct syntax.
