Use the startserver utility to start DirectConnect for Oracle on UNIX. The startserver utility is included in the install directory of Adaptive Server. For example, to start a DirectConnect for Oracle named DCSERVER, enter:
startserver -f RUN_DCSERVER
where the -f flag specifies the relative path to the runserver file. After you issue the command, the DirectConnect for Oracle issues a series of messages describing the settings of the configuration parameters.
