Storing Startup Information in the Configuration File

The ais.cfg file is used for two purposes:

As an environment for Teradata and Oracle users to configure the required JDBC drivers, as discussed in Mapping JDBC Data Sources for Windows (Teradata Only) and Mapping JDBC Data Sources for UNIX (Teradata Users Only).
To pass startup switches and configuration parameters, other than the defaults, when launching Integration Server

The ais.cfg file is a text file residing in the \bin directory on Windows, UNIX, and Linux platforms. When you start Integration Server from the command line using the startup.bat command (in DOS or UNIX), the startup routine checks the contents of ais.cfg for any startup switch or parameter information. Then one of the following applies:

Startup switch or configuration parameter syntax added to the ais.cfg file override default settings (see Integration Server Startup Switches and Storing Startup Information in the Configuration File).
If you did not add startup switch or parameter information to ais.cfg, the default settings are used to start Integration Server.
If ais.cfg contains startup switch syntax and you enter startup switch overrides in the startup.bat file (Windows only) any startup switches in startup.bat override both the startup switch settings contained in the ais.cfg file and the default settings.

To store startup switch and parameter settings in the ais.cfg file:

Open the ais.cfg file in any text editor.
Add the startup switch you want to store by typing the startup switch letter in brackets; for example:
```
[B]
```

Add the new information for startup switches in the following format:

[L]=0
[E]=c:\temp\myserver
[N]=40
[M]=c:\ess\bin\essbase.mdb

To enter the above overrides in the startup.bat file, type:

"C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\eis\server\bin\olapisvr.exe" -I -L0 -Ec:\temp\myserver -N40 -M"c:
\ess\bin\essbase.mdb"

Save and close ais.cfg.
