CHAPTER 2 Starting and Stopping Servers

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.
