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 parameter file. You can override parameters in the file by specifying them again when invoking SQLSTART. Suppose file STARTUP SQLPARM contains the following:
NCUSERS=10 ARCHPCT=90 LOGMODE=A NLRBU=1000 |
Usually, you would start the application server to access database SQLDBA like this:
SQLSTART DB(SQLDBA) PARM(PARMID=STARTUP) |
Now, suppose you want to start the application server, but want to use NLRBU=1500 instead of NLRBU=1000. You would enter:
SQLSTART DB(SQLDBA) PARM(PARMID=STARTUP,NLRBU=1500) |
Any parameter that you specify for the command overrides any that occurs in the referenced CMS file.
