Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Data Management:
DataServer for ORACLE

> #### Parameters

> `service-name`

> Specifies the name of the broker process on the host machine.

> `host-name`

> Specifies the name of the machine where the DataServer broker is installed. The default value is the current host.

> #### Notes

> - See OpenEdge Deployment: 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 OpenEdge Deployment: 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 Chapter 5, "Configuring the DataServer," for more information on setting the `ORASRV` environment variable.
