2.3.1 Operands related to the system structure
- 1) pd_system_id = HiRDB-identifier
<identifier>((4 alphabetics))- Specifies an identifier for the HiRDB system. This operand is required.
- If you are using multiple HiRDB/Single Servers, specify a unique HiRDB identifier in each system.
- Notes
- The only way to change a HiRDB identifier after it has been set is to use the database initialization utility to rebuild the system. For this reason, you should avoid a name that may have to be changed later.
- 2) pd_name_port = HiRDB-port-number
<unsigned integer> ((5001-65535)) <<20000>>- Specifies the port number that becomes the HiRDB system address.
- Specification guidelines
- This port number must not be the same as the port number used by any other program; no other program may use the port number specified here.
- To start multiple HiRDB servers or units on the same machine, a different port number must be specified for each HiRDB.
- Notes
- You must specify a number that is outside the range of port numbers assigned automatically by the OS. The range of port numbers assigned automatically by the OS depends on the OS.
- If a port number is specified that is within the range of port numbers assigned automatically by the OS, that number may be in use by another program. If so, the HiRDB server does not start.
- 3) pd_master_file_name = "HiRDB-file-name-at-beginning-of-master-directory-RDAREA"
<pathname>((up to 167 characters))- Specifies as an absolute pathname the name of the HiRDB file that is at the beginning of the master directory RDAREA.
- This operand is required.
- Notes
- Once the name of the HiRDB file that is at the beginning of the master directory RDAREA is specified, it cannot be changed. To change it, you must rebuild the system with the database initialization utility. For this reason, you should avoid a name that may have to be changed later.
- HiRDB file system area names are not case sensitive, but HiRDB file names are case sensitive. For example, for C:\rdarea\mast\mast01, C:\rdarea\mast is not case sensitive, but mast01 is case sensitive.
