The start parameter file is created by the administrator of the application using any editor.
The start parameters define the current runtime parameters of the application. This includes the number of work processes with which the application is to work or possibly parameters for a Resource Manager, for example.
The start parameters can be entered in one or more lines. A prefix determines who the start parameters are for:
Start parameters with the prefix “.
UTM” or without a prefix are interpreted by openUTM itself.Start parameters with the prefix “.
RMXA” are forwarded by openUTM to the connected Resource Manager (database system) for evaluation (see "Start parameters for a UTM database application").
The sequence of start parameters for openUTM and the database system is arbitrary, although the input of all start parameters must be concluded by the END command.
Comments
All lines with an asterisk (*) or hash character (#) in column 1 are interpreted as comments. Comments can be placed anywhere in the start parameter file. You can then activate or deactivate individual start parameters, for example, depending on the application run.
