Normally, a HiRDB/Parallel Server cannot be started if any of its units will not start. If an event such as an error prevents a unit from starting, the error must be resolved before HiRDB can be started. However, the reduced activation facility can be implemented so that HiRDB can be started using only the normal units; this is called reduced activation. To enable reduced activation, specify the following operands:

• pd_start_level
• pd_start_skip_unit

For details about using reduced activation, see the HiRDB Version 8 System Operation Guide.
