Normally, a HiRDB/Parallel Server cannot be started unless all its units start. However, the reduced activation facility enables a HiRDB/Parallel Server to be started at the available units even if some units cannot be started due to an error. To use this facility, the following operands must be specified:

• pd_start_level
• pd_start_skip_unit

For details on the reduced activation facility, see 18.15 Handling of reduced activation (HiRDB/Parallel Server only).
