BMC Software, Inc., Confidential and Proprietary Information
Setting up the Server Environment (Unix Host) 3-11
• The directory cannot be shared by any Database Administration
server processes. This restriction prevents file permission clashes
when a second user tries to write to a file owned by another user. It
also permits the logging of full paths to jobs, which makes the jobs
easy to locate.
If not set in the environment, BMC_LOCAL defaults to the current
directory when you started
patroldb.
Example
export BMC_LOCAL=/usr/bmc/PDBAdmin/att/3.0/jobs
Setting the BMC_PORT Environment Variable
The BMC_PORT variable enables you to specify additional instances of
the Database Administration server (as opposed to additional database
instances). The default value for BMC_PORT is 1313. You should use
this value unless you are loading multiple instances. In general, any port
number less than 1024 is reserved and should not be specified.
Although the majority of sites do not need to use this variable,
BMC_PORT is required for sites that are running the product for
Informix (user
informix) and running an additional RDBMS (user bmc).
Other sites may choose to implement multiple instances to force separate
departmental environments (for improved control or monitoring) or to
expand the resources available per instance.
Note
Before setting a port value for use with multiple instances, you should
determine which ports are in use. Enter the following command to obtain
a list of all the ports that are currently in use:
netstat -an | grep LISTEN
