-sl java option

Sets the Java virtual machine options and forces the virtual machine to load on startup.

Syntax
mlsrv11 -c "connection-string" -sl java ( options ) ...
Remarks

Sets -jrepath and other options to pass directly to the Java virtual machine. The options are:

Option Description
-hotspot | -server | -classic Override the default choice for the Java VM to use.
-cp location;... Specify a set of directories or JAR files in which to search for classes. Instead of -cp, you can also use -classpath.
-Dname=value

Set a system property. For example,

-Dsynchtype=far -Dextra_rows=yes
-DMLStartClasses=classname, ...

At server startup, load and instantiate user-defined start classes in the order listed.

-jrepath path Override the default JRE path, which is the directory install-dir\Sun\jre160_chip (where chip can be any supported chip, such as x86).
-verbose [ :class |:gc | :jni ] Enable verbose output.
-X vm-option Set a VM-specific option as described in the file install-dir\Sun\jre160_chip\bin\client\Xusage.txt (where chip can be any supported chip, such as x86).

Unix notes

Options must be enclosed in brackets. These can be round brackets, as shown in the syntax above, or curly braces { }.

The -jrepath option is only available on Windows. On Unix, if you want to load a specific JRE, you should set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH (LIBPATH on AIX, SHLIB_PATH on HP-UX) to include the directory containing the JRE. The directory must be listed before any of the SQL Anywhere installation directories.

On Unix, the -cp options must be separated with colons.

Examples

For example, on Windows the following partial mlsrv11 command line sets the Java virtual machine option that enables system asserts:

mlsrv11 -sl java (-cp ;\myclasses; -esa) ...

On Windows, the following partial mlsrv11 command line defines the LDAP_SERVER system property:

mlsrv11 -sl java ( -cp ;\myclasses; -DLDAP_SERVER=huron-ldap ) ...

The following partial mlsrv11 command line works on Unix:

mlsrv11 -sl java { -cp .:$CLASSPATH:/opt/myclasses:/opt/my.jar: }
