3.2.2 Options

[Figure] -d control-statements-filename~<pathname> ((up to 255 characters)

HiRDB single server configuration
Specifies the absolute path name of the file that contains control statements for the database initialization utility.

HiRDB parallel server configuration
Specifies the absolute path name of the file that contains control statements for the database initialization utility. The control statements file must be created in the server machine where the dictionary server is located.

[Figure] -u authorization-identifier ~<identifier> ((30 characters))
Specifies an authorization identifier to which DBA privileges are to be granted and that is to be registered in HiRDB.
  • When this option is omitted
    When this option is omitted, the system assumes that the user name associated with the OS account of the user who is executing the pdinit command is specified in this option. If that OS account has the root privileges, the system then assumes that root is specified in this option.
  • Rules for option specification
    If the authorization identifier to be specified contains lowercase letters, enclose the authorization identifier within double quotation marks ("); otherwise, the authorization identifier is treated as all uppercase letters. If you are using sh (Bourne shell), csh (C shell), or ksh (Korn shell), you must enclose the entire character string, including the quotation marks, within single quotation marks (').
  • Remarks
    This option can also be specified when HiRDB is installed as an extension of open middleware that uses HiRDB.

[Figure] -p password ~<identifier> ((1-30 characters))
Specifies the password for the authorization identifier specified in the -u option.
If the password to be specified contains lowercase letters, enclose the password within double quotation marks ("); otherwise, the password is treated as all uppercase letters. If you are using sh (Bourne shell), csh (C shell), or ksh (Korn shell), you must enclose the entire character string, including the quotation marks, in single quotation marks (').
When this option is omitted, the system registers the authorization identifier character string specified in the -u option as the password.
The following shows the relationship between the -u and -p option values and the authorization identifier and password that are registered in HiRDB:
-u option specification -p option specification Authorization identifier registered in HiRDB Password registered in HiRDB

[Figure] -W execution-monitoring-interval ~<unsigned integer> ((0 to 3600)) <<0>>

For guidelines on the value to specify and details about the resulting operation, see the description of the pd_cmd_exec_time operand in the system common definition in the manual HiRDB Version 9 System Definition.
If 0 is specified in this option, the utility's execution time is not monitored.
The execution monitoring time specified in the pd_cmd_exec_time operand in the system common definition is not applied. If this option is omitted, 0 is assumed.
