start observer

Starts specific services.

Syntax

start observer -database db_name
              [-timeout seconds]

Options

Table 2-101 GDSCTL start observer Options

Option	Description
`-database db_name`	The name of the database.
`-timeout seconds`	The global service manager requests timeout in seconds.

Usage Notes

TIMEOUT (default 15) represents the time between when the shard director/global service manager receives requests and starts the observer. See Oracle Globally Distributed AI Database for the automatic rules for choosing the right region for the shard director (global service manager) server to start the observer. If shard director servers are not running in this region, the observer is not started.

Example

GDSCTL> start observer -database mydb
