Introduction to Startup Parameters

This section explains how to use the Entire System Server startup parameters.

This document covers the following topics:

Using the Startup Parameters

You must edit this member as part of the installation procedure. This includes customizing parameter values to suit your site, and/or adding any parameters that are specific to add-on systems that use the Entire System Server (for example, Entire Operations, Entire Event Management, Entire Output Management).

Note
Parameters specific to an add-on system are described in that system's installation manual.

Thereafter, you can modify parameters as required for customization purposes to reflect changing conditions at your site. After each modification of the parameter member, you must restart the Entire System Server to pick up the changes.

Parameters without Default Value

Unspecified parameters take the default value. The parameters listed below have no default value and must be specified:

  • ADA5SVC

  • NODE

Example Parameter Members

Example parameter members are illustrated below according to operating system.

Note:
Not all possible parameters are listed. Parameters specific to any add-on system can be added (these are described in the relevant system's installation manual). Optional parameters not specified take the default value.

In the following examples, the abbreviation NPRvrs stands for the current version, release, system maintenance level of the product.
