Adaptive Server stores the values of configuration parameters in a configuration file, which is an ASCII text file. When you install a new Adaptive Server, your parameters are set to the default configuration; the default name of the file is server_name.cfg, and the default location of the file is the Sybase Adaptive Server home directory ($SYBASE_ASE). Each time you modify a configuration parameter, Adaptive Server creates a copy of the outdated configuration file, using the naming convention server_name.001, server_name.002, server_name.003...server_name.999. Adaptive Server writes the new values to the file server_name.cfg or to a file name you specify at start-up.
