How to Start Adaptive Server with Trace Flags

Follow the instructions in this section to start Adaptive Server with a trace flag. If you have a UNIX or Digital OpenVMS system, you can modify the RUN_server file to start Adaptive Server with a trace flag. OS/2 and Novell NetWare systems use the command line to start Adaptive Server with a trace flag. Windows NT uses a command-line option set with the Server Config program.

Look for the section below that matches your operating system.

WARNING! Start Adaptive Server with a trace flag only when instructed to do so in this manual or as directed by Sybase Technical Support or an SWR letter. Using these flags at any other time may create serious problems. Do not attempt a normal shutdown after using trace flags 3607 or 3608. Always use shutdown with nowait in these cases.
