SPD Server 4.5 Server Parameter File Debug Options

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.

The ALTBINPATH= server parameter file option is enabled when a LIBNAME statement that contains a valid ALTBINPATH= specification is issued.

ALTBINPATH= 'DirPath'

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.

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 

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), and to produce a core file if an unexpected exception is encountered while running (bit flag 4). To perform all three actions, submit the sum of the bit flags (1+2+4) = 7 as the argument for your RECORDFLAGS= option statement:

RECORDFLAGS= 7
