4.1.4 Output of initialization commands to log

When a HiRDB system is created by the system generator (g specified on the Master menu), the initialization commands are output to a log file.

Should the system files need to be reviewed for tuning purposes, this log file helps improve the efficiency of the review process. Moreover, if the HiRDB system needs to be reset to its initial status, the contents of this log file can be used to simplify the process.

Table 4-2 lists the contents of the log file.

Following is an example of log file output:

PDDIR="/HiRDB"
PDCONFPATH="${PDDIR}/conf"
SHLIB_PATH="${PDDIR}/lib"
PATH="${PDDIR}/bin:${PATH}"
