Even if you do not use exactly the same set of parameters every time you start the application server, it is still convenient to use a source member for parameters. You can override parameters in the member by specifying them again when you invoke the application server.
Usually, you would start the application server with the following job control:
// JOB START SQL // EXEC PROC=ARIS71DB // EXEC PROC=ARIS71PL // EXEC ARISQLDS,SIZE=AUTO,PARM='PARMID=STARTUP' /* /& |
Now, suppose you want to start the application server, but want to use NLRBU=1500 instead of NLRBU=1000. You would do this:
// JOB START SQL // EXEC PROC=ARIS71DB // EXEC PROC=ARIS71PL // EXEC ARISQLDS,SIZE=AUTO,PARM='PARMID=STARTUP,NLRBU=1500' /* /& |
Any parameter that you specify for the EXEC statement overrides any that occurs in the referenced member.
When all the values of the initialization parameters have been resolved, the application server displays the final values as routed by the DSPLYDEV initialization parameter.
