Configuring Database Instances 

Use

The configuration parameters of a database instance are stored in the description file and the parameter file.

The default values, value areas, calculation rules, and parameter properties the DBM Server needs to process parameters correctly are all stored in the description file.

Th description file and a parameter file that has standard values assigned to it are installed with the database instance. With the commands for the configuration of database instances you change the entries in the parameter file of the database instance.

Prerequisites

For some of the commands for configuring database instances you require a parameter session.

Note the DBM operator authorizations for each of the DBM Server commands.

Procedure

To do this, when you set up the session with the DBM Server, you use the -d option to specify the name of the database instance whose parameters you want to process. On entering the param_* commands, a search is made in the parameter file belonging to this database instance for the value of the respective parameters.

If you do not specify a name or you specify the name of a non-existent database, the required parameter cannot be found.
