When you start an Adaptive Server with the dataserver program, Adaptive Server derives its running environment from:
The configuration file you specify in -c configuration_file
The default configuration file, servername.cfg, if you did not specify the -c parameter
Default values if you did not specify either -c configuration_file or servername.cfg
For more information on these configuration parameters, see Chapter 17, “Setting Configuration Parameters,” in the Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise System Administration Guide.
