Starting Adaptive Server in unattended start-up mode

Use unattended start-up mode to allow access to the master keys when the password holders unavailable.

Generally, using unattended start-up mode requires that you:

  1. Enable the automatic master key access configuration parameter.

  2. (Optional) set the master key startup file path and name. Otherwise, Adaptive Server uses the default file path and name.

  3. Add automatic_startup copies for the master keys or dual master keys for databases for which you intend to have unattended start-up.
