 Configuring Database Instances 

Use

The database parameters are stored in the description file and the parameter file.

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

The description file and a parameter file that has default 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 server authorizations required for the particular DBM commands.

Procedure

When logging on to the Database Manager, use the -d option to specify the name of the database instance for which you want to edit the parameters. 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.
