Opens the Server Startup Options window or displays the database server messages window on Linux (use the X window server).

Syntax

{ dbsrv11 | dbeng11 } -ux ...

Applies to

Linux with X window server support

Remarks

The -ux option allows you to do two things when starting the database server: use the Server Startup Options window to specify server options when starting the database server and display the database server messages window once the server has started.

When the -ux option is the only option specified on the server command line, the Server Startup Options window appears where you can enter options for starting the database server.

The server must be able to find a usable display when -ux is specified. If it cannot find one, for example because the DISPLAY environment variable isn't set or because X window server isn't running, then the database server fails to start. If you want the database server to start, even if it cannot find a usable display, use the -ui option instead of -ux.

If you specify other server options in addition to -ux, then the database server messages window appears once the database server is started. You should only specify one of -uc, -ui, or -ux.

For more information about starting the database server as a daemon, see -ud server option.
