Parameters

service-name

Notes

• See Startup Command and Parameter Reference for more details on the Server Name (-S) and Host Name (-H) startup parameters.
• You can use any of the startup parameters with the PROBRKR command. See Startup Command and Parameter Reference for details.
• The Oracle DataServer server process (_orasrv) will inherit its environment from the broker. Prior to starting the broker, ensure that the ORASRV environment variable is set to the name of the server executable, including the full path. See Configuring the DataServer for more information on setting the ORASRV environment variable.
