ALTBINPATH=
Description
The ALTBINPATH= option specifies the path to an alternate executable binary file
directory. An alternate binary file path allows system administrators to load a non-
production copy of SPD Server without having to replace the production copy of SPD
Server.
Syntax
The ALTBINPATH= server parameter file option is enabled when a LIBNAME statement
that contains a valid ALTBINPATH= specification is issued.
ALTBINPATH= 'DirPath'
RECORDFLAGS=
Description
The RECORDFLAGS= option is used to control various startup and debug options for the
SPD Server record level locking proxy. The default setting launches the optimized image.
Syntax
The RECORDFLAGS= option uses bit flag arguments for numeric values of 1, 2, and 4.
To submit more than one argument, just submit the sum of the respective bit flags. For
example, to choose option 1 and option 2, submit an argument of 3 (1+2=3). To choose
options 1, 2, and 4, submit an argument of 7 (1+2+4=7).
RECORDFLAGS= 1 | 2 | 4
1
launches a debug image for the SPD Server record locking process. If
RECORDFLAGS=1 is not specified, the default setting launches the optimized image.
2
loads the image that is specified in ALTBINPATH= for the SPD Server record locking
process. If RECORDFLAGS=2 is not specified, the default setting uses the normal
PATH setting.
4
produces a core file if the SPD Server record locking process encounters an unexpected
exception while running. If RECORDFLAGS=4 is not specified, the default setting
terminates the client connection if an unexpected exception is encountered while
running.
RECORDFLAGS= Examples
Suppose you want to use the RECORDFLAGS= option to launch a debug image for the
SPD Server record locking process (bit flag 1), and to produce a core file if an unexpected
exception is encountered while running (bit flag 4). To perform both actions, submit the
sum of the bit flags (1+4) = 5 as the argument for your RECORDFLAGS= option statement:
RECORDFLAGS= 5
Use the RECORDFLAGS= option to launch a debug image for the SPD Server record
locking process (bit flag 1), to load the image specified in ALTBINPATH= (bit flag 2),
