Managing ObjectStore

osserver: Starting the Server

osserver options


-c	Checkpoint. Forces all data to be propagated from the log to the database. The Server does not start after this checkpoint.
-d int	Starts the Server in debug mode. Specify an integer from 1 through 9. The larger the number, the more information ObjectStore provides. You also can specify the -F option so that ObjectStore displays the information on the screen. ObjectStore copies debug output to the standard Server output file unless you redirect it to another file.
-F	Foreground. Runs the Server process in the foreground. This reverses the normal behavior, where the Server runs as a background process. This option is not available on Windows.
-i	Initializes the Server log file and the rawfs, if you have one, with a confirmation prompt. Use with caution.
-I	(Uppercase I) Initializes the Server log file and the rawfs, if you have one, without a confirmation prompt. Use with extreme caution.
-p pathname	Specifies a file containing Server parameter settings that override the default settings. If you do not specify this option, ObjectStore uses the default parameter file.
-ReallocateLog	Reallocates the Server log file in a native file system. This does not actually start the Server; it only reallocates the log. Never use -ReallocateLog if the Server is in an inconsistent state. Doing so can cause database corruption. Call ObjectStore Technical Support for assistance.
-v	Displays Server parameter values at start-up.
