Startup command syntax

The conventions used in command syntax descriptions is as follows:

command  [ db-name ] [ parameter ] [ value ] . . .

For example, the following command allows 100 users to access the sports database and then set values for the database connection, performance, and network parameters:

proserve sports -n 100 -B 30000 -L 1000 -S sprtsv -H sys27

The table below describes each of the command components.
