Table 2-1: Historical Server start-up parameters
Parameter
Description
homeDir
Required. This parameter specifies the home directory for this
-D
instance of Historical Server. The account that starts Historical
Server must have read, write, and search (execute) permissions on
the Historical Server home directory.
The default home directory is the current working directory for the
account that starts Historical Server.
The control file used by this instance of Historical Server resides in
the home directory. The control file contains information about past
recording sessions and is updated during the current run as new
recording sessions are established.
The directory specified by this parameter is also the default
directory into which historical data files are written during a
recording session. The user who creates a recording session can
override this default location without affecting the definition of the
control file.
Multiple instances of Historical Server can share the same home
directory. See "Configuring multiple instances of Historical
Server" on page 23 for more information.
