Editing the params.cfg File to Start Servers with Sybase Central

The params.cfg file holds values for switches to control server startup features such as main and temp cache settings and error logging.

Prerequisites

Before you start the server, review and edit the params.cfg file located in the database directory for the server.

If you use Sybase Central to start the database:

Task
  1. Remove any -n switch in a params.cfg file used to start a multiplex database. Remove -x tcpip{port = } switch because Sybase Central prompts for the port number.

    The configuration file must not contain -n to name the server, or the database name or path.

  2. The configuration file must be named params.cfg.
  3. The configuration file must be located in the same folder or directory as the database file (.db).

The Utility Guide describes startup switches. For more about params.cfg, see the System Administration Guide: Volume 1.
