On UNIX, the X Server is not automatically installed as a service. You can either enter the X Server in the appropriate start scripts for the operating system or start it manually when required.
On Microsoft Windows, the X Server is installed automatically as a service when the database software is installed and starts automatically with the operating system.
x_server [<options>] [start]
Options for Calling the X Server
<option> |
Explanation |
-D <debugging_level> |
Defines the debugging level. You can specify values from 0 (no debugging information is written) to 9 (maximum debugging information). The default value is 0. |
-F |
Suppresses the resolution of DNS entries and thus speeds up the connection process. If it takes a long time to connect to a remote database instance, restart the X Server using this option. This tells you whether the DNS server is responsible for the slow connection. |
-S <port> |
For UNIX/Linux only: assigns a different port <port> to the X Server. The X Server uses Port 7210 by default. If you want to change the port permanently, change the value for the entry SQL6 in the services file. On Microsoft Windows, for example, this file is located in the directory C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\ |
-V |
Displays the version of the X Server. |
-Z <file_size> |
Specifies the size of the log file xserver_<servername>.prt in KB. servername is the name of the computer on which the X Server is running. |
