Mimer SQL System Settings

---

You can edit your startup and shutdown files to automatically set-up logical names and install images, command style and automatic database server startup and shutdown.

Setting-up Logical Names and Install Images

In order to set-up Mimer SQL logical names and install images each time your OpenVMS system starts up, you must edit your startup file.

Edit SYS$MANAGER:SYSSTARTUP_VMS.COM to include the following line:

 $ @disk:[MIMER824A]MIMSETUP8 SYSTEM

Setting the Command Style

You can use either OpenVMS- or UNIX-style commands.

To set-up your system to automatically accept the style you prefer, you can edit the LOGIN.COM file.

OpenVMS-style Commands

In LOGIN.COM, add the following line:

 $ SET COMMAND MIMLIB8:MIMER

UNIX-style Commands

In LOGIN.COM, add the following line:

 $ DEFINE DCL$PATH MIMEXE8

Automatic Database Server Start

If you want the Mimer SQL database server to start automatically whenever the system is booted, you must edit the SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM file.

The following example starts two Mimer SQL database servers:

 $ MIMCONTROL/START PRODUCTION
 $ MIMCONTROL/START INVENTORY

Automatic Database Server Shutdown

If you want to perform a controlled shutdown of the database server whenever the OpenVMS system is shut down, you must edit the SYS$MANAGER:SYSHUTDWN.COM file and add the relevant commands at the end.

The following example stops two database servers:

 $ MIMCONTROL/STOP PRODUCTION
 $ MIMCONTROL/STOP INVENTORY
