Changing SQLAnywhere Database Server Startup Options

Change the database server startup options (thread counts and user options) to control the performance of a SQLAnywhere database server.

Depending on the type of installation you have performed, the servers you can change startup options for varies:
  1. Stop all instances of SAP Mobile Server, as well as all database services.
    For a list of database services, search for SAP Mobile Platform Windows Services in System Administration.
  2. If you are thread count and user startup options in a cluster deployment, then for each database that requires a startup option change, open the corresponding initialization file. These files are installed to SMP_HOME\Servers\SQLAnywhere12\binxx:
    • For the cache database, open cdboptions.ini.
    • For the cluster database, open cldboptions.ini.
    • For the log database, open monitoroptions.ini.
  3. Modify one of the startup options in the .ini files, for example:
    -gn <threadcount> -c <cachesize>
  4. Ensure all the database services are restarted.
  5. Restart all SAP Mobile Servers.
