To start and stop IQ multiplex servers interactively, use Sybase Central. To start IQ multiplex servers in scripts, you may use command line parameters.
Make sure that you follow these rules:
The IQ Main store is configured for read/write use by only one designated write server. IQ will refuse to start with read/write access unless the connection specifies the designated write server. The database is configured for multiplex operation when the first query server is defined.
Query servers can only be run on a multiplex database.
Review and edit the params.cfg file in the database directory for the server before starting it. For more about params.cfg, see Table 2-1.
If you use Sybase Central to start the database:
Remove any -n switch in a params.cfg file used to start a multiplex database.
The configuration file must be named params.cfg.
The configuration file must be located in the same folder or directory as the database (.DB) file.
The configuration file must not contain -n to name the server, or the database name or path.
