Utility Option Changes

SAP Sybase IQ 16.0 includes option changes for the isql and start_iq utilities.

isql Changes
Option Description
--URP

New option for the Interactive SQL utility (isql). Allows you to specify a remote password and provides TDS login redirection for logical servers.

See Utility Guide > isql Interactive SQL Utility..

start_iq Changes
Utility Description
-al New option for the start_iq utility, -al allows you to extend authentication to select users using standard authentication. This may be necessary when the login_mode database options are restricted to SAP Sybase IQ LDAP user authentication (LDAPUA) only, but no user or login policy exists that permits LDAPUA authentication.

See start_iq > -al iqsrv16 Server Option or start_iq > -al iqsrv16 Database Option under start_iq Database Server Startup Utility in the Utility Guide .

-iqlm

New option. The –iqlm startup option specifies the maximum amount of memory that SAP Sybase IQ can dynamically request from OS for temporary use. Set –iqlm as a switch as part of the command or configuration file that starts the server.

Default large memory is 2048MB. Large memory requirements represent one third of the total available physical memory. To ensure adequate memory for the main and temporary IQ stores, set the –iqlm, –iqtc, and –iqmc startup parameters so that each parameter receives one third of all available memory.

See Utility Guide > start_iq Database Server Startup Utility > start_iq Server Options > -iqlm iqsrv16 Server Option.

–iqmc

Behavior change. Default memory for –iqmc is 64MB.

Large memory requirements are one third of all available physical memory. To ensure adequate memory for the main store, set the –iqmc startup parameter to one third of available physical memory.

See Utility Guide > start_iq Database Server Startup Utility > start_iq Server Options > -iqmc iqsrv16 Server Option.
