After you have edited your resource file, start rs_init from the operating system prompt:
rs_init resource_file_name [-option] [parameter]
where:
option – is the letter specifying a command line option.
parameter – is any valid parameter for that option.
You can specify more than one command line option. For a resource file session, you must specify the -r option and the resource file name. Table B-2 lists the available options for a resource file. You can also use some of these options in an interactive rs_init session.
Flags |
Parameters |
Explanation |
|---|---|---|
-a |
none |
Validates the resource file and exits without performing the configuration task. Without the -a flag, rs_init validates the resource file and continues the product configuration. You must use the -r flag with the -a flag. |
-c |
See “Replication Server information” for a list of character sets. |
Specifies the character set used for all messages and prompts. The -c flag forces rs_init to use a particular character set. Otherwise, rs_init uses your system’s default character set. |
-e |
none |
Records information about the user’s environment and exits. Information is written to the log file. Without the -e flag, rs_init records user environment information and continues the product configuration. |
-h |
none |
Prints out usage message (help) and exits. |
-l |
French, German, Japanese, Spanish, Chinese, Korean |
Specifies the language used for all messages and prompts. The -l flag forces rs_init to use a particular language. Without this option, rs_init uses U.S. English. |
-log |
Path and file name of log file |
Lets the user specify location of the session log file. Without the -log flag, rs_init uses the default log location (%SYBASE%\init\log). |
-r |
Path and file name of resource file |
Specifies that rs_init is to take input from the listed resource file. Use this flag in noninteractive sessions to configure new server products, upgrade existing server products, or modify existing server products. |
-s |
Path of Sybase release directory |
Specifies the Sybase release directory. If you do not use the -s flag, rs_init assumes that the Sybase release directory is the current directory. |
-T IGNORE_WARNINGS |
none |
Entering certain values for some attributes causes rs_init to exit with a warning. (rs_init exits, for instance, if you specify an operating system file for the location of the master device.) Invoking an rs_init resource file session with the -T IGNORE_WARNINGS flag allows the rs_init session to continue. |
-v |
none |
Prints the rs_init version string and exits. |
