2.2.1 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, avoid specifying a name that might have to be changed later.
2) pd_name_port = HiRDB-port-number
~<unsigned integer> ((5001-65535)) <<20000>>
Specifies the port number of the HiRDB port.
Note
For details about HiRDB port numbers, see Port numbers used by HiRDB in the HiRDB Version 9 Installation and Design Guide.
Relationship to other operands
This operand is related to the -p option of the pdunit operand.
3) pd_master_file_name = "HiRDB-file-name-at-beginning-of-master-directory-RDAREA"
~<path name>((up to 167 characters))
Specifies as an absolute path name 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, avoid specifing a name that might 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.
