Optional connection and startup parameters

You can use other OpenEdge startup and connection parameters with the DataServer.
The following table describes parameters that are especially relevant to using the OpenEdge DataServer for Oracle.
Table 40. Optional connection and startup parameters
Parameter
Description
Database Type (-dt ORACLE)
Specifies that the non-OpenEdge type of the target database is Oracle.
DataServer (-Dsrv)
Specifies parameters that allow you to control how the DataServer processes queries. -Dsrv is a connection parameter. See Query tuning with connection and startup parameters for more information.
Logical Database Name (-ld)
Specifies the logical name for the Oracle database. This is the name by which you refer to the database in your applications.
Index Cursors (-c)
Specifies the maximum number of Oracle cursors per user that OpenEdge opens. This parameter is valid only for connecting to Oracle databases. It has no effect when connecting to the schema holder. See Index cursors for more information.
Schema Cache File (-cache)
Specifies the name of a binary file that contains the schema for a database. Reading schema from this file is more efficient than reading from a remote schema holder. See Local schema caching for more information.
Data Service(-DataService)
Specifies the data service the NameServer uses. For more information, see Starting the DataServer in the Unified Broker framework.
Note: This parameter is required for OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer connections and must be used in conjunction with the -Dsrv SVUB,1 option.
Direct Connect(-DirectConnect)
When using OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer, this parameter instructs the client to bypass the controlling NameServer and connect directly to the Oracle DataServer Broker.
Internal Code Page (-cpinternal)
Specifies the name of the code page that OpenEdge uses in memory. This code page must match the code page that the Oracle database uses. Required when using a code page other than ibm850 or iso8859-1, such as in a DBE DataServer configuration.
Stream Code Page (-cpstream)
Specifies the name of the code page that OpenEdge uses for stream I/O. This code page must match the code page that the Oracle database uses. Required when using a code page other than ibm850 or iso8859-1, such as in a DBE DataServer configuration.
