Invoking a parameter file

After you create a parameter file, you can invoke it to start a broker by using PROSERVE and the parameter file.

proserve –pf parameter-file.pf

One reason you invoke a parameter file from another parameter file is when you want to allow individual users to use additional parameters at the user level.

Assume that the primary.pf parameter file sets the global parameters for the appdb database. Individual users can create and maintain a private myparam.pf file, which enables them to set additional parameters for their own requirements.

To call myparam.pf from primary.pf, enter a -pf parameter and the parameter filename in the primary.pf file, as shown:

#-------------------------------------------------------------------
# This file sets the global parameters for the appdb database.
#-------------------------------------------------------------------
-dbappdb# database
. . . 
-pfmyparam.pf# personal parameter file

-T /usr/tmp# location for user-specific temp file
-mmax1024# maximum memory allocated for r-code
